Step #3: Accessing your Router or Cable Modem:
First, you will need to find out exactly what brand of router or cable modem you’re using.
Normally, you can access your router or cable modem thru it’s built in LAN interface. To do
so, you would pull up Internet Explorer and in the address bar, type the Default Gateway
address you wrote down in Step#1.
Hint: If the third portion of your IP address was a 1, then typically you would use 192.168.1.1 to access your
router or cable modem. Or if the third portion of your IP address was 0, then you would use 192.168.0.1. Once
you have successfully accessed your router or cable modem, you will need to input the user name and
password.
Step #4: Setting up Port Forwarding in your Router or Cable Modem:
Go to the web address
www.portforward.com Click on Forwarding at the top and choose the router or cable
modem your using and follow the instructions on how to setup port forwarding. You will follow the instructions
step by step EXCEPT that you will need to forward on Ports 5150 and 5160 with the type being TCP. It will then
ask you for an IP address, simply use the same IP address you assigned your computer in Step #1. You should
have a button at the bottom that will allow you to save your settings. Click it to save your settings.
Hint:
You will have an entry for both 5150 and 5160. Like the
example below.
You will also need to forward ports 80 or 8000 for web browser
access. Note: Some routers already have port 80 forwarded
or included. Some ISP’s block port 80 to prevent its users
from web hosting. It is then necessary to use port 8000
instead. You should use port 8000 if you aren’t sure.
Step #5: Finding the IP address of your DSL or Cable Modem:
The easiest way to determine the IP address of your DSL or Cable Modem is to go to the website
www.whatismyip.com You will need to write this IP address down and take it with you. When you’re at the
remote computer, the Remote View application will prompt you for an IP address. This is the one you will use.
Hint: If you are accessing the computer from inside your network or from a computer that is also connected to
the same router or cable modem, then you can input the local IP address of the computer running EZ Watch
Pro 4.0.
