Test your chosen port on canyouseeme.org...it needs to pass that test to be functional. Cheers!

Did you mean to test port 80? It is recommended to use a different port, as often port 80 is blocked by ISP's for servers. The default 4040 should work just fine. The IP is your public (ISP assigned) IP address.

No worries, loads of patience.

tried to run test on port 4040 & tried 4043 and this is what i get

Error: I could not see your service on 98.23.130.254 on port (4040)

Okay..double-check on the server machine (with SS running):
127.0.0.1:4040 and your server pops up. If yes, and fails the canyouseeme.org test, your server machine (eg. firewall) OR router is still blocking 4040 from the outside world.

i did that using my static ip and it took me to the subsonic login page and was able to login just fine

Is there an exception in local firewall for Subsonic?

Both...once they have an exception for Subsonic, go ahead and test your server IP:4040 on another local (lan) machine (even a smartphone on your wlan will do) to verify. Once the lan can see your server, we'll test for wan.

gonna have to get back at this tomorrow i HAVE to go to sleep now thanks for the help though

Good deal...it will get solved. 'Til then!
