Need help setting up iphone control for Apex Controller

[jmski333]

Hello,
I received my apex controller a few days ago and got everything set up running no problem. The only issue i have is controlling my controller from my iphone in 3g. I can control my tank no problem from my iphone when connected to my WiFi router, But from 3g its a no go. My apex is hooked in Via ethernet cable directly into the wireless router.

So far i have
-Disabled DHCP
-Activated a DYNDNS account
-Used an unused IP address that is in agreement with dyndns and the apex
-changed my HTTP port to something other than 80
-Set up my Netmask, Gateway & DNS server in agreement to my home network settings
-logged into my router and activated port forwarding

what am i missing?

Have you try pinging the port to make sure it is open?

I have not, I am not sure how to do that.

What IP address are you using on 3G?

If you are using 192.168.1.110 that IP address is only valid from your home network, it is not a public IP. I see you talk about setting up a DYNDNS account though, so you may know the difference. Are you getting any response from your dynamic hostname? Try logging in to the router admin page remotely or pinging the hostname.

On 3G you need to try to connect using the WAN IP address directly. What is the result of that?

You can find your WAN IP on the status page, or just search in google for "What is my IP" and use one of those websites which will report it to you.

Hope this helps,
Landon

Exactly. Go to whatsmyipaddress.com and you will get the correct ip address. Then use that ip address and the port number in the same format you are trying to do now.

Also, go to the sponsor section of this forum and click on Neptune. There is great support there.

Check the neptune sponsor forums but, a couple things.

First on the apex the primary/secondary dns should be your router address.

Then to access it you would use your dynamic dns info with a ":" "8000"

example would be http://rbnice1.DYNDNS.com:8000

change the Primary & Secondry DNS server to your gateway ip. in your case i would write 192.168.1.1, so your gateway, primary and secondry ip are all same.
find your IP address. you can do from above website or you can find it from your computer network connection.
go to your phone browser and type.
Http://yourIPaddress:8000 FYI: your ip address in not your router assigned address. look for IP address which is coming thru your internet service provider.

it should work.
