how can i log in to my server from a remote computer?

[sprbc753]

So i have a subsonic.org address since i made a donation, yet i still can no access my site remotely...

is there anything else i need to change firewall wise etc? I am running windows 7 and i already switched in my network settings to allow public access to the subsonic service.

please help!

TommyBrucey...

You need to open up your port on your router, port 80 probably, and allow for UDP...

i cant recall the link i found its in the tutorials though , good luck!

I know this is an old thread but I just thought I would add something for anyone coming through and reading. DO NOT USE PORT 80! That is a port specifically used for http communication *a web server / browser usually* and quite a few ISPs are now blocking port 80 for connections not initiated by your IP address because they see that as you running a webserver from home which normally violates the ToS. When setting up Subsonic you should use a port number that isn't a common number, ie, above 1024. Also be warry of any editing of your hosts files. Just do it the right way and forward the port in your router. In 99% of cases you won't have to mess with adding an exception to windows firewall.

If you access your home PC from outside then you really should have a router between your network and your cable/DSL modem for security. Open ports can be a serious security risk.
