Determining your computer's IP address ===== You need to know your computer's IP address on your home network. You can do this with the following steps: - From your Windows Start menu, type **cmd.exe** and press **Enter** key. - This will display a Command window. - Type **ipconfig** and press **Enter** key.\\ {{:commandwindowipconfig.png?nolink|Command Window > ipconfig.exe}} - Look at the output from ipconfig and you will see your computer's IP address next to **IPv4 Address**. In the above example, it is 192.168.1.2. ===== Step 2. Setting up port forwarding in your modem/router ===== You need to access the Setting page of your router/modem. This is typically done via a web browser and a specific IP address for your router. For example, for D-LINK routers, the IP address to access the Settings page is <nowiki>http://192.168.1.1</nowiki>. Consult your router's documentation to access it's Settings page. Once you have entered your router's Settings page, then you need to find the section that lets you set up **Port Forwarding** or **Virtual Server**. In this section, you need to create a rule for your Mezzmo server as follows: * **Application Name:** Mezzmo server * **Public Port:** a port number that is not being used by your computer or other software apps on your computer (example, 2477).\\ **Important:** Make a note of this public port value. You will need to use it in Step 3. * **IP Address:** the IP Address of your computer (as collected in Step 1) * **Private Port:** the Media server port defined in the Media Server Settings dialog in Mezzmo Windows (by default, 53168) **Example:** D-LINK router Settings page\\ {{:dlinkportforwarding.png?nolink|D-LINK router settings}} After creating this port forwarding rule, save your changes in your router. It is recommended to reboot your router. ===== Step 3. Entering the Remote Port in Mezzmo Windows ===== - In Mezzmo Windows, go to the Media Server Settings dialog. - Enter the Public Port value from your port forwarding rule that you just created in your router's Settings page. - Click OK to save your changes.\\ {{:mediaserversettingsremoteport.png?nolink|Media Server Settings dialog - Remote Port}} ===== Step 4. Creating user accounts in Mezzmo ===== - Go to the Web Access dialog in Mezzmo Windows.\\ {{:webaccess.png?nolink|Web Access dialog}} - Edit an existing user account (or create a new user account). - On the User Settings dialog, click the **Allow user to access** checkbox so that it is listed as **Allow the user to access (Allow)** - Set the password for the user account. The stronger the password the better. - Click OK to save your changes. - Edit the user account again. You should see it displayed like below: \\ {{:usersettingsuser.png?nolink|User Settings dialog (User tab)}} - Click on the link under **Web browser link to access your Mezzmo server outside your home** - Your web browser will be displayed and your Mezzmo server's web interface should be displayed. - If that works, then you have successfully completed setting up your Mezzmo server for streaming outside your home!
