My project I am working is remote presence robot controlled obviously remotely... I think I am missing something, though because I can only get my robot and camera to operate if I am actually on my own wifi network... I tested it over my girlfriends wifi network at her work (using her android tablet), but she kept getting page not found error when she tries to log on to our home network... Am I missing something that I need to do different using other wifi networks away from home or would it be because her work's firewall (or even mine) won't allow remote access to our home network? What do I need to get remote access to my robot and camera?
Hope this makes sense and thanks R
Thanks for your help Alan...and everyone else... I'll figure it out and post back here later...

Also, Don't forget to press the ? Button on any control for assistance
they http server control help mentions that you need to port forward
glad to see you figured it out!
Ok, I was able to open port 80 and tested it on a website that can test for your open ports... I have since closed port 80 as this was only a test... Is it safe to keep port 80 open? What other ports can I use if need be? Tomorrow I will test to see if I can login to ARC remotely to control my camera and robot... Also, thanks DJ
You can keep it open. It won't hurt because you'll need a password to do anything in ARC anyway
Thanks and cheers... Learn something new everyday...
I would use something other than 80. You can use virtually anything, but google a list of well known ports, then pick one not on the list and you present a smaller hacking target.
I am sure there are no known vulnerabilities in ARC, and it is not likely to be something hackers are actively trying to exploit, but no sense in being am easy target.

Thanks Alan, I'll check it out.....
