You replied to a message I posted Radmin help. Thank you for your prompt reply. I have done much reading and I do know that my internal IP is valid but the external IP, accessing the web and emanating from my Linksys router, is a phony IP. Consequently, any incoming request, either from RADMIN or eve Windows Remote Server, must be "forwarded" from the router to my PC and to do this, the router must first be able to accept incoming information by opening a port on the router and then forwarding the information to a port number I have created on my router to match on my PC. If I have this right so far then the only information I need help on, which I don't know how to do and cannot find any material on, is an "HOW-TO" on how to go into my router and do this port opening & port forwarding. Any guidance is greatly appreciated. I tried calling Linksys directly - a rep cam on said he would be back to help, left me on hold for 15 mins and then the line cut. Thanks again.
