Could sure use a geek to come by and help me out (do it for me more like).

Pretty confusing.....

Go to the Neptune forum on Reef Central, there's a sticky link to the unofficial guide, which should tell you all you need.
I don't think Aqua Notes is used anymore, but there are apps written to access it from your phone or web...

Yes I have been looking at the unofficial guide, pretty good. Thanks for the tip however I'm thinking if I could get an interested party that has done it, it would be easier. Probably unlikely in this area but you never know.

Still haven't got this dang thing hooked up. Spent hours on this freaking thing.

Anyone, anyone, pleeeese.

What do you need to do? let me know and I'll see if I can help.

I really appreciate the offer, thanks! My networking skills are poor so I'm sure that's where the problem lies. Probably really need someone to come here an figure it all out.

Current situation - I can see the Apex through my WiFi network. The Apex is wired to a Airport Express which is picked up by the Airport Extreme.

The modem I'm using is a cable modem/router Shaw Cisco DPC3825. The Airport Extreme is wired to the Cisco and cable from Cisco to the wall. I have disabled the wireless on the Cisco to have a bridged connection.

Apex has been port mapped to the Airport Extreme, not the Cisco. Not sure if that has to be done or not.

However....

When I try to log into my IP remotely from my iPhone I can't see my login to my Cisco. This is probably the first issue as I should be able to at least see my network. I'm not really sure which IP to use and how exactly to find it. I've tried the what's my IP, used the IP under Extreme summary etc. My IP on the Extreme is configured using DHCP. The IP's are different from what I can see between Cisco and Extreme. Not really sure on the setup of that.


What I have tried (past) - Before I switched to Shaw the other day I attempted to rig up an old Telus straight cable modem (unavailable now). I did this to elminate the routers and was still unable to bring up my IP remotely or the Apex. Had Nick from Neptune trying see my IP but had no luck as well.

I have the ability to direct connect to the Apex should I need to for troubleshooting. It is just a matter of moving some equipment around.

Probably not enough info but feel free to ask and I can provide.

I don't think the problem is in the modem, I would login to your useradmin using 192.168.0.1 go to status and see what your internet ip address is. It should be a weird 174.x.xx.x or something along that line. If your are trying to access it from the internet using 192.xxx.x.x, it will never work since those will only direct you in your own network. I have the exact cisco shaw wireless modem. I didn't need to bridge any other modem to it, instead I went into the gaming and port forwarded using port 80 and the assigned apex ip address which you would've done already on your apex setting. Also port forward using port 10001 and the same apex ip address.

you did mention that you had access already if you were on your network using what ever ip address assigned to your apex, am I correct? reason I asked is to make you that your lan setting is correct on the apex.

let me know if this make sense to you, if not then we will have to see some pictures.

It gives me an error when I try to port forward it, invalid IP.
