^A quick scan of this makes me think maybe the problem is I haven't touched my modem at all? The port can't connect through the gateway properly? Sounds possible to me lol

As documented hundreds of times, you will NEVER get into Subsonic from outside unless you first verify that the Subsonic port is open by going to http://canyouseeme.org and testing the port.

For Windows installations the instructions are all clearly explained in the tutorial section.

Vanity subsonic.org address does not use DNS and does NOT require a static ip from your ISP. The service is a redirection service that merely redirects the request from the subsonic server to your external ip and port number. If your external ip address changes you may experience a temporary disruption that is easily fixed by just going to Settings/Network and hitting the Save button. That will re-transmit your ip:port# to the subsonic server and your vanity address will be in order once again. Subsonic does do this automatically at regular intervals on its own, but it's nice to know you can also do it manually.

In this instance, derk2468 needs to read and understand the instructions in the manual for his router regarding port forwarding. All routers are different and the instructions can be somewhat obtuse, but the fact remains that in this instance derk2468 needs to focus on getting the port for Subsonic opened on the router and sent to his Subsonic host machine. Static routes are not necessary. It is suggested that the local host Subsonic machine be assigned a static internal ip address rather than depending on DHCP as that will eliminate the possibility of the host getting a new random internal ip address that will invalidate the port forward rule on the router. This is all covered in the tutorial section.

If derk2468 needs help with setting up the router he should post the make and model so that someone can walk him through it. Almost all router manuals are easily found in pdf format online and enable someone with more experience to help him get it right.

Summary:

Read the tutorial section.
Assign a static INTERNAL ip address to the Subsonic host machine.
Set up the router to forward the Subsonic assigned port (default - 4040) to the internal ip address of the Subsonic host.
Verify port is open a Canyouseeme.org

Final clue: Swearing at it won't fix it.


The "double NAT" issue is thoroughly covered in the Tutorial section you were advised to read early on in this thread. LOL
