Using WebShifter from Internet

If you want to access WebShifter from the internet, you need to make sure that the PC WebShifter is running on, complies with the following:

• The PC must always have have the same IP address. You can manually specify an IP address in the network settings of your PC or if you use DHCP in your network, the DHCP server should always assign the same IP address to the WebShifter PC (please check the documentation of your DHCP server how to do this)
• Any firewall running on the WebShifter PC must allow access to the port WebShifter is running on. If a firewall blocks this port, you can not access WebShifter from another PC

· Your cable modem or ADSL router (or other gateway device between your PC and the internet) needs to forward all requests for the port WebShifter is running on to the WebShifter PC.

Once you made sure your WebShifter PC complies with the above, determine your internet IP address.

This will show the current internet IP address.

You can now access WebShifter from any PC on the internet with a web browser by surfing to http://<ip>:<port> where <ip> is your internet IP address and <port> is the port that WebShifter is running on.
