[App_rpt-users] Wireless ISP help

[David McGough]

Skyler,

You seem to be behind a NAT firewall, since you don't have a public IP 
address.  This is a standard configuration used these days by many 
providers.

Either you've got to convince the ISP to setup port forwarding (UDP port 
4569) to your private IP, or, you could tunnel out using a VPN (or 
unencrypted IPIP/GRE) tunnel to a site where you do have a live IP address 
and forward ports from there.
