apex re start

[cedzaquaddiction]

Yeah. That happens unless you are paying extra for a static IP address...

Standby...

i just saw no-ip.com still does free ones?

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Do you see your apex listed anywhere? If not, we need to add it...

 

[1mbrews8]

i have something listed at 192.168.1.64 that im not sure what it is.. could be my son's tablet?

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Type that IP into your address bar, and see what comes up...

 

[1mbrews8]

says can not connect

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Just saw your post about no-ip.com. That really won't help us here. This is a connection between your ISP, router, and Apex. Good to see you are researching, though. :thumbs:

Let's try to add the apex...

Can you follow these directions, and see where that leaves us?

Yes, but it seems like the power outage dropped all of your IP addresses, and since they are not static, they have changed...

It's no problem with the help. I ended up calling Neptune to get mine up and going...

 

[1mbrews8]

watching, but is my ip static or not? it was at one time i think with the dyndns thing?

Edit: and do i use the .64 unknown thing as the apex? or how do i know what the apex address is?

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Well, we the dyndns tries to make it static, but, at the end of the day the ISP (Cox, Charter, knology, etc...) can change it...

We actually get to choose what the IP address is. Make sure that you don't choose static, and type in whatever you want for the IP address. Take your IP address, and add one...

I'm guessing is starts with 192.168.1..***

 

[1mbrews8]

the 2wire settings are also way diff than the vid.. i am under firewall settings now and looking for something custom..

Edit: it also says choose a computer that will host applications through the firewall?

Edit: and i thought my current ip was the 98.80....?

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

For this installation, the firewall normally needs to be turned off... We can turn it back on once we are done.

Let's get you a new IP address first. You can either hold down the power button on the router for 30 seconds, or uplug it for about 10 minutes...

I wouldn't feel comfortable about asking you to do that until we know our path. Would you be alright with me calling Neptunes tomorrow, and getting some direct insturctions we can read? That way, your firewall won't be off for long...

 

[1mbrews8]

sure... it's nighty nite time anyway )

im out in the boonies, so not too worried about the firewall being off for a bit if needed.
txt me in the morn at 478256 78 70 ..will prob be faster than typing in this thread lol! and i can send screen shots fast too

Thanks again!
mike

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Will do... You will see a text from three3four 20seven 57seven5...

Hang in there. We'll get it figured out...

 

[1mbrews8]

thanks!

Edit: new ip as of now is 98.80.138.92

Edit: and if imp, on apex, it says DHCP off..

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Got a very helpful PM from Roger that will probably help out here. Seems like your 2wire router is the reason the install and config is different that I remember. Check out page 31 on this link...

 

[1mbrews8]

yup, that stuff is similar to what is in the "unofficial apex user guide" i originally used to set up. It still says that i need a static ip though??

 

[cedzaquaddiction]

Looks like it for your router...

You will need to contact your ISP for that... Who do you have service with?

 

[1mbrews8]

crappy at&t.

so what would be wrong with using the noip thing?
