Win500 Remote Monitor

I have a feeling your are double NATing. (If you want to know what NAT is google 'Network Address Translation" ) Most of the new modems have routing capabilities now that provide NAT. Now you have introduced another router into the mix with the same function. This is not good. Rarely this is ever noticed unless a person is trying to establish a connection from the outside. Post a screen shot showing what the "WAN" ip address of your Netgear router is to confirm. There are a couple of ways of fixing this. Either turn your Verizon modem/router into a bridge. Or, turn DHCP off your netgear and connect it to your Verizon box via a LAN port. If that router isn't functioning as a Wireless Access point... You may be better (easier) served by removing it. Or call Verizon and tell them you want to put the modem into 'bridging mode'. I prefer this method myself.

Post a screen shot showing what the "WAN" address of the Netgear device is.

Actually for safety.. if I am wrong just show the first three groups of numbers... XXX.XXX.XXX.000 what are the Xs for WAN port on the netgear.

The following is from my personal experience with the subject software, and my knowledge of telecommunications.

Your DSL modem/router is assigned an IP address by your ISP. (Verizon)
That address can change at anytime.

Your wireless router will see everything in your house as 192.168.x.x.
The world cannot see that.

Your problem is DNS-related.
What you need to do is go to a site like no-ip.org.
You will register there, create a "name" for your PC, and they will make sure that name is "dedicated" to your PC, regardless if the ISP changes your modem's IP address.
For example: joeblowsscanner.no-ip.org

Then, when you are away from home, point your client to joeblowsscanner.no-ip.org and it should work.
(provided, as stated below, the port you use is open. 8086 should work)

One caveat....if you are trying to listen while at work, your firewall guys could be blocking that port.

The software is great and works as advertised.
Hope this helps.

Win 500 Remote Audio

Have server working to the point I can see/control on remote computer, but I get no audio. Think problem is in getting audio into server...running Vista on that computer. I have earphone of scanner plugged into line input, have to start Audacity in order to hear audio on server computer speakers. What am I missing?

It is working now after I restarted software on server.

Port forwarding has been my largest pain since getting an Apple II in 1979. It drives me nuts. Just a thought on system diagnosis software that may give the questioner and those helping one-stop-shop information. NirSoft (nirsoft.net) has a ton of useful PC utilities and perhaps "CurrPorts" (nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html) may provide insight to the Q&A above. I have used several NirSoft apps over the years. All good, small footprints, and free. I also use/like the free "Belarc Advisor" (belarc.com) that tells me more than I want to know about the hardware and software on this PC. Hope this helps.
