remote control OBI

<< < (3/3)

RonR:
Many DSL modems, even if the only have one Ethernet port for the LAN, have the equivalent of a router built in.  It's quite possible there is a port forwading capability, but you'd have to find the documentation or actually take a look to know for sure.

If you use an external router, it's best to run the DSL modem in 'Bridged' mode to avoid the possiblility of double NAT (having two routers in series).

Thanks. I will need to check on that.
Another question(maybe not in the right forum  ;D):I currently have a Fios route/gateway and linksys e2000 with tomato firmware. If I put the linksys behind the fios gateway, would setting up for remote controlling the linksys be similar to what I did with obi? I turn off DHCP on the linksys, set its IP to 192.168.1.4, and enable remote management through port 8084. I go to the fios config at 192.168.1.1 and forward port 8084 to linksys IP. Did I miss anything?
Oh, on the linksys remote management page, it has a line for WAN IP Address Range. Do I need to fill it out with something?

RonR:
It should all be very similar.  The Teddy Bear Tomato firmware I'm using doesn't appear to have the WAN IP Address Range, so I'm not familair with it.

Hi, I am trying to setup my obi so I can remote control it from another country.

You should set up your OBis in the OBiTalk portal as well. It allow you to see if its online and adjust most settings through most firewalls.

baby007:
Yeah, thats what I was doing too. But some features are not available on the web portal though
