OK I hope you all can help or point me in the right direction. I have DSL and wish to have a basic dbase up for around 2 to 3 people to access and use over the internet. I am running FM7 (5 users - Plenty). SO either i am missing something or the manual(help info) is lacking, probably the latter. Even if my IP is not static that is not a problem. I ofcourse am having no trouble accessing the dbase over my local network. now by locating my IP through http://www.showmyip.com/ would a person outside my LAN just need to attach a Colon and 591? Someone needs to wirte a dummies guide for doing this for the casual user.

Thanks for any considderation in this matter.

If you are using port 591 then yes the outside users would need to append ":591" to the IP address.

If you are using a Gateway/Router you will also need to "map" port 591 to the computer on your LAN.

If you are not using a Gateway/Router (i.e. you are using PPPoE directly to a DSL modem) you may need to check for a Firewall blocking the port.

Good Luck.

Garry

p.s. There are a couple of good guides on the forum which have been written recently in response to similar questions smile.gif
