Steps for NoIp.com setup

[737mech]

I have proscan, setup web server, works fine within my network by typing in the url from any pc in the house. How do I get it out so I can log in from outside networks? I set up port forwarding to the pc ip. I setup an account at Noip.com I really need more details how to make this work. I have a netgear nighthawk. I set a static ip for the server pc. I must have missed something?

First check that the Router Port Forwarding is setup correctly. Start the Web Server then use this tool.

Open Port Check Tool -- Verify Port Forwarding on Your Router

A free open port check tool used to detect open ports on your connection. Test if port forwarding is correctly setup or if your port is being blocked by your firewall or ISP.

I did that and it said my port is closed or server timed out.

I did that and it said my port is closed or server timed out.

Check your Router Port Forwarding again.
You want to use the following:
1. Use TCP (or TCP and UDP).
2. Use the IP address or name of the computer running the server. A common mistake is using the scanner IP address when using an Ethernet capable scanner.
3. Use the same port # as the server.

If canyouseeme still fails then temporarily disable any Internet Security or Antivirus software for a test.

Do you perhaps have two routers. Maybe one at the cable modem/router and then the nighthawk downstream of that? If so, then you need to port forward on both routers

Who is your Internet Provider?

Who is your Internet Provider?

Cox Communications

Ok moving forward, cox has a jacked up way to port forward through the modem/router. Thank you DC31! But? It reserved an IP address not on my list. I guess I have to plug the pc directly in to the router, hope it sees it and assigns it? Cox only allowing 1 ip to port forward??

If you want a comprehensive check / scan of your router then I suggest Shields Up
