: Assuming LAN: 192.168.1.x : specific machine running MWS: 192.168.1.5 : Assuming WAN: 68.99.99.99 : Assuming External Port: 9600 (WAN) : Assuming Internal Port: 80 (LAN) : Router Configuration : -------------------- : First check your documentation about how to port forward. It may be called several different things depending on your router. Note any special requirements. For example, my Linksys says I can not have port forwarding if I'm using DHCP. : Once you have setup your router so it can port foward, you will configure the details to forward to the internal MWS something like this: : (Note: I'm using "UPnP forwarding", and not "Port Forwarding" on my router because I need to only forward a single port, and not a range of ports.) : External Port: 9600 : Protocol: TCP : Internal Port: 80 : IP Address: 192.168.1.5 : MWS Configuration : ----------------- : Port to run Web from: 80 : =========================== : This tells the router a request for 68.88.99.99:9600 is sent to 192.168.1.5:80 I have done all the suggestions on this website, but I can't get MWS to not use the external IP. Everytime it starts it uses it rather than the address of the computer behind the router's IP. I have tried Bind and Absolute with no luck... has anyone else experienced this and later been able to figure it out.
