Subsonic Forum

Good Day,

This is an exciting product. Excellent Work!

Question: I want to make my music available via the web outside my home network. My ISP, Charter Cable does not issue public IP addresses which would allow me put my media server on the web easily.

Can anyone provide a work around or reccomended solution?

Thanks, Jeff

Take a look at the following thread...

You definetly have a public IP though. How often it changes will depend on your provider. I assume since you have Charter you are in the US and are using Cable Internet.

Most likely your IP will not change that often. You can check it on http://www.whatismyip.com/

You could then look at whatever you are using internally to connect. for example http://localhost:89/index.view you would replace the localhost with the IP address you found above.

If you have more then one PC connected to your Cable Internet you will have to setup port forwarding on your router. You also may need to open the port you are using in Subsonic on your Windows Firewall (assuming you are on windows).

IF you need someone to test externally you can PM me your IP address and link and I will be happy to try to hit it from the Internet.

Edit: Looks like I was too slow. The link above is a good discussion on this topic.

Thanks ALL!!

Up and running http. Made suggested changes. This is saweeet!
