I have file maker pro 10. I am unable to access IWP from outside the local network. I have a D-link router DI-624. I called FM and they told me all I need to do is set up port forwarding in my router. But that was all the information they could give me. D-link was no help either. I need to know how to set this up properly. Does anyone have a D-link router and has set up their virtual server to work with FM PRO 10? IWP is turned on in FM.

Thanks, but i tried that and it doesnt work. The directions they give are wrong and very generic.

Perhaps this can help.

Thank you this was a bit general but because im so smart i figured it out! : this tutorial doesnt tell you how to set up port forwarding using your router. for anyone else with this problem. your router has an ip address and your computer has a private ip address. your router is the external ip address, the address you use to accesss your router from outside your local network. so you enter in the external address with the port number. then you go into your router and put in your private ip and forward that to the correct port number 591. that way when your out of your local network you type in the routers ip address. your router looks at its forwarding table and sees that port 591 forwards to your private ip. and it works. hard to explain. if anyone needs help ask me.
