Now, if they get the secure email working, then I could email status reports to myself at work.

I have to admit I was sort of expecting that, too. I use Sympatico as provided by our Aliant/Bell phone company out east here. However, once I figured out the IP address of my router, everything worked fine.
I'll give the email a shot when I get a few minutes.

Not really, as long as you are assigned an ip address, you can set up a website, if they block port 80 or 8080, you would'nt be able to access the web at all....
You just need to set it up with your router/firewall....
Here>> www.mantico.com << is my personal website, and I use NO-IP to update the DNS when SBC DSL changes the IP address ( dynamic )...
My router/firewall also supports DDNS.......
Bob N9LVU
The router gets an IP address from the ISP via the DSL modem.
The router than assigns a "private network" IP to all the networkable devices connected to it (wires/wireless)....
So, if my router IP is 123.123.123.123...and my PINK (which is assigned an IP from my router) is IP: 456.456.456.456. When I'm at work, or elsewhere, how do I look for my PINK from the outside world?
http://123.123.123.123/456.456.456.456 ?? something like that? I'm an electronics guy....not a computer guy! I once found the ANY key BTW!

·· Just as a note, the IP field numbers cannot be greater than 255 each.· As for accessing the alternate ports through the router, I have seen many tutorials on Google that explain better than I could how this is accomplished.· Definately worth looking up for the primer in networking.· You might learn some things that will help you out later in other use.

Somehow, your router will let you into its configuration. My d-link lets me enter the router's setup by entering its local IP (192.168.0.1 in my case). Then, goto the section which will be described as "Virtual Serving" or something similar. You will be able to tell the router to 'pass through' any incoming requests for http service to the PINK's local address. This will be in a table format where you can tell port 80 ( http) requests to be directed to the PINK address ( 192.168.0.135 in my case).
Then, from the outside world, put in the router's IP address (which will change each time the router is rebooted, assuming you're using DHCP)and the PINK's default page will pop up! Magic or what?
Tom
But what I see that looks like it might work is, Port Forwarding and Port Triggering. The little help blurb with these didn't give me a good feeling as to being the cure for my pains....but I guess I'll resort to google.
I was hoping for a record on here of how to do it....no biggy. IF I sort it out, I'll post for the masses (the masses that probably already figured it out!! haha)

It is possible to block a port in one direction and not in another-

If you are looking for confirmation that it's working (across the internet), then it works for me with firefox 1.0.7...

Thanks for the confirmation! So far its worked with numerous browsers and operating systems. Great little unit!

With proper settings for NAT and/or simple port forwarding, you will not need to place any device in the DMZ.

One note on the DMZ, this setting will allow access to ANY port of the IP you put in it. I'm not sure how the Pink downloads it pages but you could have people from the internet probing any open hole they can find on the Pink. Hmm, maybe we will start to see some Goggle hacking for special Pink urls and reprogramming them.· You may want to think about security a bit if you app has your furnace control or something on it open to the internet.

Steve,
If you have you're router setup, and your ISP is blocking port 80 and you have rerouted the pink to a different port, rather thant he standard port 80. The address would be http://123.123.123.123:79 assuming that 79 is the port you told you're router to make the pink.
Let me know where you are. Do you know the address of you're pink, on you're local network? [noparse][[/noparse]Does it start with 192.168.???.??? If so, you can tell this to people on the forum without any problems. This begining of a IP means that it is considered private, and NOT "world addressable". This is not a security issue to give this information. For instance, my servers are from address's 192.168.0.1-6. Some are firewalls, other's are WRT54G's, other's are web servers. All client PC's if they are known, are between 192.168.1.100-199. if they are guests, (Modem, wireless, or lan party's) then they are between 192.168.1.200-250, etc. This is just my setup, and can be different for anyone else, and WILL be different.]
Do you know what ports your ISP blocks? [noparse][[/noparse]Not absolutly required]
Do you know how to access you're firewall's setup page? (Gateway)
What port would you like your pink to be? [noparse][[/noparse]something easy to remember]
What is the model number of you're router/firewall?
Do you know you're outside IP address? And does it change? (Probably it does change, this is able to be fixed if it does change)
Here's the disadvantage to having a ISP that blocks you're port 80. It means this ONE thing ONLY. If you want someone to get to you're pink, they will have to type you're address, with the port after it. http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy Where xxx are the IP address, and y's are the port.
Get bak to me, and I'd be more than willing to help out in this regard. I'm a PC guy, not a electronics guy. [noparse];)[/noparse]

Good point Knight, but not necessarily true. With control of a domain name, a record can be created that adds the port number as well, so the person would only need the domain- that is they wouldn't have to add the port number as well...

Yeah, yeah, hadn't thought 'bout that. [noparse];)[/noparse]
So, essentially there's a werk around for any of the problems associated with ISP's blocking a particular port. However, the last time I played with the method mentioned, I didn't have any success. [noparse]:([/noparse] Of course on the other hand, it took me about 2 months to get BIND to finnaly work, and the problem was that on my firewall I hadn't opened up both TCP AND UDP, only TCP. Not realizing that I only opened up TCP. [noparse]:([/noparse]

·· Sorry to those who run into this problem!
·· Because its a test site, I didn't bother setting it up with a static IP address. Its not usually a problem and I can get about a month or so with a given IP address. But, every time the router reboots due to a power failure, the IP address gets re-assigned by the service provider's equipment. We've had so much lightning this summer it seems to change every day or so.
· I'll restart things and repost the IP address.
·· The PINK, by the way, is a really slick unit and once you get onto how to use it, is a breeze to play with.

· Tom

I'm just 10 people short of a threesome!!
The update is triggered by a couple of lines of html code in the page. I don't have it in front of me and I see we had another lightning storm overnight ( ie new IP address on router) so I can't get it while I'm away.
I'll post it here later today.

·· No problem with moving or removing. The site is still up but the IP addresses changes at the whim of my ISP.
·· As different folks have contacted me, I've given them the current address for testing, etc. There seems to be a growing base of folks who have mastered the PINK basics, so this thread may have less relevance.
