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 cannot access the device remotely over the internet.
As it turns out, my ISP (Cox Communications) blocks all port 80 requests. I have attempted in vain to figure out how to work around this using port translation but my router does not have a port translation feature - only port forwarding (which I am already using to forward stoker data requests to the stoker connected via a wireless bridge)and port triggering. I have read about software I can run to do the translation on my desktop, but I don't want to open up my PC's on the network to the outside world if I can help it.
Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions of how I can accomplish being able to access the device over the internet if your ISP blocks port 80 requests? Thanks in advance for your reply.
