Mezzmo 5 and Internet

[jbinkley60]

I must be doing something wrong. I follow that the default media server port is 53168 and is shown in the 'Media Server Settings' dialog. I also see that the Remote access port is blank by default. I have forwarded the 53168 port on my router to my computer. From outside my home, I can bring up the login screen with no problem, but when I try to log in the error "The webpage at http://1.0.0.0:0/web/?sid=[redacted] might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address." comes up.

Should I be adding 53168 to the blank remote access port field in Media Server Settings or should I be making up a number on my own and creating another port forward? I've tried both and I get the same result as when it's blank. The web access work fine inside the home.

Again, I'm assuming I'm missing something glaringly obvious.

This sounds like an internal vs. external DNS mismatch. I spent quite a bit of time testing this as a beta tester. From the outside you might be using something like: http://mezzmo.mydomain.com:53168/web which the external Internet DNS will resolve to your Internet facing IP address of your cable router. However internally the IP address of your Mezzmo server will be your local network IP address. If you are running DNS internally and you have a DNS entry for mezzmo.mydomain.com it should point to your internal IP address. If you aren't running DNS then add a host file entry on your Mezzmo server which is:

your Internal IP mezzmo.mydomain.com

I believe this will resolve the issue.
