I have both (BGE and Stoker), and if you purchased the proper adapter with the stoker, it simply clips into the draft door track, and close the door onto the sloped end. Works like a champ. I am pretty sure the stoker fan has a square or rectangular opening, so I can't see how the BBQ Guru...

I did not try disabling the static IP address since the communication works fine while on the network. I guess I could try that, but can't for the life of me understand why that would work when this won't. I was a little afraid to try the DHCP method for fear that I would change something and...

Ken: Thanks for your reply. Am I wrong about this thought? If I can access the Stoker when connected to my home network using either the port 80 or port 8081, then my router settings with regard to the the IP address must be correct, right? Just to respond to your ideas (an believe me I do...

Still no joy here guys. I upgraded the firmware on my primary router to dd-wrt, and was able to port forward/translate from the port I wanted to use to skirt Cox's block to port 80 (port 8081) to port 80. Just like before, I am able to access the stoker when using a device that is connected...

What I haven't attempted yet, is to upgrade the firmware on my Linksys router to the dd-wrt version that allows port mapping (the linksys firmware doesn't have this feature). So I need to flash the primary router with the dd-wrt firmware and follow Rob's suggested methodology I think. Ken...

Unless they are lying on their website, Cox blocks port 80.

Rick: I am not following your logic. Let me reiterate, that the communication with the Stoker works perfectly so long as the device I am attempting to control it with is connected to my network - my desktop, laptop or kid's Ipods. All of the devices can check the status and change the...

RobM: Thanks for the follow-up help. I have been resisting updating the firmware in my primary router as it was challenge enough updating the firmware in the secondary router I am using to bridge the connection wirelessly. But it sounds like dd-wrt has the solution I seek. I copied the...

RobM: Thanks for your reply. I have looked over the dd-wrt information and I don't see a capability to do port translation but do see the same eature (port forwarding) that is already available on the linksys firmware. I am already using successfully to forward a port 80 request to the...

Thanks Amir. I thought I had read every entry in that thread but perhaps not. I will try to find him and send him a note. Thanks again, and I love your software. Richard

I got a Stoker for Christmas and it really works great. I have enabled it across my network and I can operate it using either the internal network IP address or the external IP address so long as I am using a device that is connected to my network (laptop, desktop, Ipod touch etc.) But I...
