gr8 app, works a treat

[longgboy]

I've got a db and the app, and i'm trying to tie the two together, i've looked at my router and put the ip it's given the db into the app, and i'm looking for the port, iv'e tried 21,80, and I think it was 60001 or something like that from what I read yesterday.
But they still ain't connecting, what port is the db opening to connect to my router?

Can anyone point me in the right direction to get these two to talk to each other?

ta in advance

I have got this Dreamdroid on my htc phone and it works fine with my Dreambox. I can connect to the dreambox using wireless network but not using the mobile's internet. Is this suppose to work only on wireless network, or can it work using the mobiles internet?
If anyone can shed some light on this and if its possible, how to do it.
Also I have vlc player but I cannot watch streams on my mobile from the dreambox. How can I make this work?

Thanks

I also use this app, it's brilliant.

To enable control over WAN rather than LAN you would most probably have to setup port forwarding to your DM via your router and IP Address.

Have a look here for your router and have a read.

I'm not sure which ports you would have to forward to but I am sure someone else here will be able to shed some light.

Good luck, let us know how you get on!
