Apex Internet access on ComCast

[elFloyd]

Anyone have any success with Comcast? What port did you use?

[Gordonious]

Default 80.

I use Comcast...works great.
I use port 80 and have 23 open for Neptune to get into if needed for diagnostics.


Remember to restart the controller after making any network changes or they will not take effect.

Good point! I don't know why, but I missed that in the instructions when I was working on it. Took me a while to figure out thats why it wasn't changing when I told it to. Luckily I've worked on networks enough to know it was odd it didn't have to think about it for a little while and there was no delay. When the device was active and ready to do other things I knew it hadn't done anything yet.

Thanks for the responses... working all day trying to get this set up with no success.

DNS account is set up... router port forward set up... Apex works local but still can't access over the Internet.

Sure you have the right URL when testing over the net? I made this mistake once I had everything else right. Not sure what else to say.

...... Apex works local but still can't access over the Internet.

How are you testing internet access? And what are you getting when you try to access it? Any warning message or just a blank screen?

I've seen people trying to debug for hours then find out they were using http://192.168.1.50 from the internet.

Late to respond... But all is working now. I use Vonage for telephone service. My home network was wired cable modem > Vonage module > wireless router. The Vonage box was acting as a router and the DynDns address was resolving to the Vonage box. I reconfigured wiring to: Cable Modem > wireless router > Vonage modual.
