I moved and just spent this last weekend finally re-setting up my camera system. Fresh install of BI. Works great on the LAN.
Today - I tried to test the remote and it won't work.
I've tried turning the firewall completely off (after trying to add inbound/outbound allowances on port 81).
Added port forwarding on port 81 to the Modem and forwarded it to the server. No matter what I do, I can't seem to get the remote access to work.
I've even attempted to change the port to 8282 just to make sure there wasn't a port conflict. There wasn't.
I've tried accessing with the iPhone app on cellular - and from my work PC which won't even resolve. "This site can't be reached". I can ping the IP address from my work PC just fine - but can't get the login UI to the web server to resolve.
Would love some help - in the meantime, time to put that firewall back on.
EDIT:
I will add - the first time that I did the Remove Access Test I got green lights to the end. Now I am trying to do the Remote Access Test and I am getting a Red X when performing the final test. Also, it is having difficulty when I click 'Refresh' on the remote WAN IP adress - It says "Trouble Retrieving IP Address".
