mFrame Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I use noip.com for mine. You install the tool on one of your pc's and it will keep the external site aprised of your home IP Address. You may also need to punch a hole in your firewall and redirect external requests to your controller's specific IP Address if you have multiple items on your network.

Yeah, no-ip is fine but I messed up my setup yesterday when I removed Java from my main machine at home (due to the zero day java vulnerability http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/31/critical_flaw_found_in_patched_java/) Hope to find time to triage it tonight.

victoly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 most routers have the ability to update DNS from hardware, if you want to remove the app from your computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad and Belinda Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I really wish I understood what the *** y'all were saying. Grim, I have some dodad that came with that AC3 (not in the package itself but something the previous owner used) although I'm not sure it would help...or maybe it would. I dunno.

DerrickH Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 also, if all is setup, your ISP could block the port you chose. Suddenlink did this to me a lot. Finally they gave me a port that I could keep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad and Belinda Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 that doo dad is probably the wireless dongle Chad do you have a controller on your tank? Lol...if you say so. I have an AC Jr. It's the old version (blue face and not even close to being onlne, if it even could). I sold my AC3 to Grim. The guy I got it from got out of the hobby and we purchased everything he had that was reef related as a package. He was able to get online which is why I was wondering if that part would help Grim although Im not sure if this a hardware issue. Grim, it you are interested, just text me or PM anytime. I always give the courtesy of a response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I have an apex, and not an AC3, so they're slightly different, but I'd be glad to try and help, over the forum or phone at the very least. Not sure if i'll be able to get away from the house this weekend. Just to be clear, are you able to access it internally from your own network?

victoly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 what is the make/model of your router? Is the AC3 connected via ethernet cable or wireless access point? who is your ISP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

victoly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 have you opened up the port that you setup with your dynamic dns on your router? your ACIII will have an option to use a particular port. http://support.herefilefile.com/entries/171529-how-to-forward-ports-on-a-netgear-wnr1000-v2 - here is how you forward the port on your router. you're going to pick whatever port is selected on your ACIII (usually this is 80) if your dynamic dns forwarding is set up correctly, you should access your acIII like this (using your noip address) grim.noip.com:80 where 80 is whatever port you setup on your acIII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 also, you may be able to setup your router to handle sending your IP back to your dyndns forwarder. p62 of the router manual details it: ftp://downloads.netgear.com/files/WNR1000v2/Documentation/UM/WNR1000v2_UM_19NOV2009.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grim Posted September 12, 2012 Author Share Posted September 12, 2012 In the Service Name field, type "HereFileFile" WHAT WOULD BE THE SERVICE NAME? In the Service Type field, select TCP/UDP.? In the Starting Port field, enter the lower of the port numbers shown on the Mac app status screen? In the Ending Port field, enter the higher of the port numbers shown on the Mac app status screen? In the Server IP Address field, enter the IP address shown on the Mac app status screen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoly Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 service name is just something for your use, so you can tell what apps are using a specific port (i call mine "apex") for TCP or UDP, select "both" if you can, if you can only select one, select TCP starting field is going to be whatever port your ACIII specifies (probably 80) ending will be the same as starting server IP is going to be the IP specified by your ACIII (probably 192.168.1.50) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
