mjtyson Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 Greetings, I am switching from a Time Capsule (non UPNP router) to a MoFi Networks 3500-3GN router (UPNP enabled) and am having trouble re-establishing remote access. I have turned of the port forwarding in ISY config and have checked " auto DHCP" and rebooted ISY to save the changes. I have no problems accessing ISY over the home network. I am using an existing Dyndns host and the MoFi has a built in service for DNS which I have enabled and configured to match the online settings. I have also enabled UPNP on the router. When I choose "establish internet connection" it succeeds and gives me https://0.0.0.0/ as the address. I must have missed changing one of the settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Michel Kohanim Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Hello mjtyson, It's always best to do manual port forwarding in the router (do NOT use File | Enable Internet Access). The reason is that if a) your router is rebooted or if your ISP changes the IP, then you won't be able to access ISY. ( does not apply to you since you already have a dynamic DNS account but (a) does happen quite frequently. With kind regards, Michel
mjtyson Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 Remote access still eludes me: I can connect my Iphone via Http but not Https. I have confirmed that the DynDns address matches my local IP I have switched to port forwarding 443. I have verified that port 443 is indeed open. established a static lease to (192.168.0.184) which Port 443 is forwarded to. On the ISY GUI (the latest 3.1.10) I have disabled internet access and enabled auto DHCP - on "about" the http address is (192.168.0.184) The only thing I can think of is a corrupt Java Certificate. I have tried to manage SSL certificates but the UD Certificate always hangs before I receive a new one. Any suggestions/help will be appreciated.
mjtyson Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Turned out to be a firewall issue - after I poked another hole in the the firewall from the lan to https everything worked. The end result is that I can use the ISY anywhere there is reasonable reception on my Rogers Rocketstick.
