is it possible you explain it me in simple language what i am to do, can`t seem to figure it out.

i would appreciate if yes.

is their no way of getting my solution cloud based?

In other words, if you want to connect your own server to the internet, it's not a FileMaker issue, it's a router/network issue.

If you want to go with "cloud based" there are companies that do that:
