Outside Computer Not Working
« on: August 24, 2009, 05:46:45 PM »
Hi,

I've set up everything correctly, the "local test" option works and if I go to my IP:15000 in my computer's browser that has the download, it also works. Yet, this doesn't work from another computer. Can anyone help with this?

Thanks!!

you need to find the external ip address (public ip) of your router/computer
go to http://www.whatsmyip.org/ and it will tell you this at the top of the page.

for example say your public ip address is 92.11.147.193
your public address for pulptunes would be; http://92.11.147.193:15000/

however, if you have a dynamic ip address (like myself) - one that keeps changing. you shall need to use a DNS Updating service such as www.no-ip.com - its free, see help and stuff on that website for more info.

so my pulptunes address is http://alexpc99.zapto.org:15000/
and that is accessible to the public (even when my ip address changes because it automatically updates via the updater software downloadable from no-ip.com)

hope that helps. :D
