External IP Address Change

[garyw27]

New to Blue Iris and this forum - glad I found both...
Hopefully a simple question - I want to enter a hostname in the "external IP address" field on the "Web server" tab. The system will not allow me to change the existing IP address (basically frozen out of making changes to any of the IP address fields).

Any advice on gaining access to changing these fields is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

@garyw27Welcome to the forum...the address listed is your actual external ip address, it is there for informational purposes. Blue iris cannot change it and there is no reason to enter a hostname there. All your hostname does is redirect to your external ip address.
EDIT: I will delete the duplicate post in the pics section.
