parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Great service first of all. This may be dumb but am I able to access my content when I'm not connected to my network? Like will the iOS apps work if I'm away from home? Or do I access that through the web like I setup on the xbox one through internet explorer. Thanks.

swhitmore 781 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 (edited) Hey, welcome to the community! You can definetly access everything outside of your home network. Have a look at this knowledge base article. Hopefully it contains everything you need. If you get stuck, let me know.

parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Well I am putting in the address correctly. The right IP address and Port number and it's coming up as problem loading the page. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14921 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Did you setup the port forwarding on your router? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 No, because I'm an idiot. I'll do it at lunch. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Alright I did the port forwarding. Created MB3 and pointed it to the IP address of the server. Port of 8096 for both. I go to what I think should be the site, http://ip address:8096/mediabrowser and still page not found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 1, 2014 Author Share Posted May 1, 2014 Wow, I'm an idiot. So I went to the remote access and got right in. I'm so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14921 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 You just need to use the external IP address of your router. Then the port forwarding you setup will handle getting the traffic to the MB machine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chef 3746 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) Perhaps try adding "dashboard\index.htm" at the end of what you wrote above?? Http:\\{ip}:{port}\mediabrowser\dashboard\index.htm Edited May 1, 2014 by chef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Shouldn't be. I'm running Microsoft Security Essentials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ebr 14921 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well, did you allow traffic both ways for the server application on the server machine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 I may have found that I'm trying to send it to an IP address that I can't use. Sounds like I need DNS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Basically I have a non routable IP address that can't be accessed. A 192.168. Frankly I'm not savvy enough to know how to work around this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 (edited) If you have a dynamic ip address (external), I recommend using a DNS, otherwise it will stop working everytime your external IP address changes. I use no-ip (free). Edited May 2, 2014 by swhitmore 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke 37094 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 where did you get the address from? did you try the one listed on the main page of the server dashboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swhitmore 781 Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 where did you get the address from? did you try the one listed on the main page of the server dashboard? I think in the end he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Yes that's the one I used. Should I go a different route? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parrotheadcubs 9 Posted May 2, 2014 Author Share Posted May 2, 2014 Well my remote address changed that's why I couldn't access it. Looks like I'll have to go through something like noip.com to combat this moving forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using a DNS like no-ip will solve your issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
