bnwbass 3 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Hello all, I have been using MB for a long time now but always connect MBC/MBT clients from within my Home network. I will be traveling for two weeks and would like to connect to my MB server. I have two connection scenarios; 1) I will have a Roku wireless stick with me (which I have tested on my local LAN and it works) Do I need to do any else besides configuring the roku connection settings (server name IP)? 2) My Laptop running the MBC client. Same question for MBC client, where do I get the server name/ IP address?Are there any settings within MB server that I need to change to make sure I connect from outside of my local network?Router inclomming / port forwarding settings?Thx Bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoff80 87 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 The biggest thing you'll have to do is you need to set up a domain / dynamic DNS server so that if your home's external IP address changes, then you'll still be able to connect.

bnwbass 3 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 Correct, I do not have a static IP address, most home user networks are dynamic. Do you know or can you provide a reference for instructions on what I need to configure on my network side to make this work? thx bw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
