How can I access both of my WMC machines from the internet. I have the port forwarding on one machine set to the default (5832) and it works, but when I change the port numbers on the 2nd machine to port 6832 for both the internal and external ip, it doesn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Can you access http://192.168.x.y:6832 when you're at home (where 192.168.x.y is the LAN address of the 2nd machine)? If you get a response, then you know that the server is set up properly, and you need to check the port forwarding setup on your router. If you don't get a response, then you need to check your settings on the Ceton service on the 2nd machine.handyd wrote:How can I access both of my WMC machines from the internet.

To add a bit there you would need to setup portforwarding twice. One for 5832 and 6832 on your router pointing to the correct IP for each. Then it should work just fine. Make sure you setup the apps to have the correct IPs as well.

Thank you. I had all that set up and it wasn't working, but it is now. Maybe it didn't take until I hit the Save button.
