Hello everybody..
So i finally got PP and a usb dongle.. Im loving it!
i get nice aircraft on my screen, great range and stuff. but now i want to become a ground station. For that i have to port forward..
Big headache for me the last days. So after consulting some people after failing port forwarding 9742, a guy told me that it is impossible.
The reason for that is that i might be routing through 2 routers without knowing it. And i unfortunately dont have access to that second router (apartment internet for all thingy)
So i surfed abit around, and now have a VPN service. But that does not let me port forward either.
Is there anybody that could assist me? Teamviewer?
Thanks Timmy
Welcome Timmy
Are you sharing someone else's router using WiFi?
Hi anmer
No i am actually not, now im running it through the "wire" from the wall. the thing is i live at this block where we all have internet connection, trhough the internet port in the walls.
However nothing has seemed to work, i even had a nice friendly guy called Gerald take a look at it with teamviewer.
Thanks.
Unless you can access the router, I don't think you'll get port forwarding. But I could be wrong.
Anmer is right. You need to access the router, unless they have left a default password in it you are stumped.
Which VPN are you using? Might be possible according to the internet to forward through the router using VPN but it looks complicated :-\
Just as i thought... :/ i use AirVPN and have forwarded a port on their VPN tunnel, but this does not seem to work either..
Although they say it should.....
So my best option would be to change ISP?
Have you configured PP for port forwarding?
Globemaster , could you PM me with your share code details...I may have a solution

If you have, would you be so kind as to share it here?

Then please don't hijack our posts.
This is a self-help forum, not a private PP club.
Thanks Mike...as expected..... :D
I don't see this as hijacking a post, I see it as an offer of help and I don't have a problem with satcom withholding details of development work.
satcom could have PM'd or made contact by other means, but then we wouldn't have known he (and by extension the PP team) were following this thread and that a solution might be available.
just my two-penneth...

And I don't see why Satcom can't share the solution with other Radarspotting members who may have a similar problem.
Perhaps a more helpful response would have been:
"Sure Mike, as soon as we have a fully tested solution I'll be only too happy to share it with the Radarspotting members. Just need to run some more tests."
All I asked was for the solution to be shared
here. I didn't put a timescale on it, just wanted others to benefit and ensure thread continuity.
Yes i have configured PP to be allowed trhough the firewall.. altough that bat file which enables this stuff comes up with an error..
My sharecode is:hi
?
it should be possible trhough a VPN..
BTW i am more then happy to receive help through teamviewer...
This is getting tiring, as i have purchased a nie antenna that i really want to share to get mlatting going in scandinavia :)
Have you sent a PM to Satcom as he suggested in an earlier post?
Hi just a thought.In the distant past I encountered a Problem with PP .on checking I had 3 firewalls running WIN,AVG,AN ROUTER
Yes i have. anmer
Maybe i shouldnt have? After reading the reactions...

No problem sending him the PM. I just want to be sure that any solution is posted here so others can benefit.
I will sure do that! i hope i am not the only one having this issue, so i would love to help others.
UPDATE:
Soooo, it was too much a hassle with the VPN.. So i just took the direct route to
the ISP, and asked if they could open the port.
They could not, however they could give me a very own IP adress, that would allow port forwarding.
They gave me my own IP adress, and now i am up and running.
For anyone also having issues like this i greatly advice that they should chech if they run through multiple routers.

Thanks for the update and good to know you found a solution.
