Anyone here setup FMS7 on a machine behind a router/firewall connected to the Internet via comcast? Aside from comcast policy issues, I'm wondering what the procedures are. I'm thinking: port forwarding on the router to point to the computer running FMS7; opening up (what) port(s) on the firewall, and finally, if any of the services are filtered by comcast. I'm interested in both FM Remote access, and IWP. Maybe the port should be changed to make it less of a well known port (for IWP anywy)? This isn't a production server, it would just be nice for me to occasionally access a database at home when I'm remote.

port 5003. You will need a fixed IP.
