| | Posted: | | | | Insufficient data:
Required information:
Are the two computers in the same subnet?
If not: Do you know the public IP-adress of the host? (This is not the one starting 192.168.xxx.xxx)
If not: Does the Host connect to the Internet via static or dynamic IP?
If "dynamic": Does either your PC (or even better your router) have a dynamic domain adress (e.g.: yourname.dyndns.org)?
More questions may arise depending on the given answers.
The answers will require a basic understanding of IP-adresses, subnets, routing, port-forwarding.
In General it should help to open the TCP-port 32847 (default by DVDProfiler) on your local firewall, or if you are using a router to forward the TCP-port 32847 traffic directly to your local machine.
For a specific HowTo please read the manuals of firewall and/or router | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

For a specific HowTo please read the manuals of firewall and/or router I am not sure of all these but here is what I found in the connection: Network Connection Details: Physical Address: 00-0C-29-F0-36-5D IP Address: 10.0.0.17 Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 10.0.0.1 DHCP Server: 10.0.0.1 Lease Obtained: 3/14/2011 5:13:23 PM Lease Expires: 3/15/2011 5:13:23 PM DNS Server: 10.0.0.1 WINS Server: That is the connection of the computer to the router. Again please help! Thank you, John |

| | Posted: | | | | Open the configuration tool of your router.
To do this you usually only have to enter the IP-adress of the router into your browser (e.g. Internet Explorer). In your case the IP would be 10.0.0.1
Depending on your router a username and a password may be required to proceed. If you never set one check the manual of your router for the default values.
After getting through this hurdle check for LAN-settings especiially "Port Forwarding" or "NAT".
Here you should be able to forward the traffic of a single port (TCP 32847) to a local IP (in your case 10.0.0.17) or MAC (physical)-adress (in your case "00-0C-29-F0-36-5D", this usually has to be entered without hyphens).
Save the settings and retry. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
