I am pretty clueless about this stuff, so I was hoping you guys could help me out.

When I moved to a new apt building, I could suddenly not access my work computer remotely using LogMeIn software (see my post: ).

I never 'officially' resolved this, but one day out of nowhere, I was able to connect fine, for many weeks without trouble.

Then I go out of town this past weekend, and come back, and now I cant connect remotely anymore. The only thing I can think of this time is, when I logged in remotely from out of town, it was a new IP address (worked fine) and when I came back to my original home IP and tried to connect remotely, it kicks me off.

I would appreciate any worthwhile thoughts, this is really irking me

Hello,

Were you trying to remotely connect using a Wired or Wireless connection?

First off, le'ts verify your wired or wireless settings if it's on DHCP.

If it is...try to renew/release the IP by following these commands

====================
Verify that your computer is not using any Proxy Settings, remove it if you do, here's the guide.

I'm on a wireless network in a condo building
I renewed/released and nothing happens.
I'm not using proxy settings.

very frustrating. again, this happened originally, i tried a bunch of suggestions, none worked. one day when I randomly tried, it worked. I went out of town (with the client Laptop) came back in town, and it is back to not working again.

Thanks 2xg for your help. What do you think the issue is?

I thought you were going to try another remote solution other than LogMein? Pls. try to use the Public DNS's again, it might work this time.

 

[hubie]

2xg - Public DNS did not work.

I was going to try another remote solution (had team viewer installed) when "magically" LMI started working about a month ago. I prefer LMI and since it was working I was relieved. And as you can see by this post, I'm back to being extremely frustrated.

Any ideas?

I can feel you frustrations, not a very good feeling isn't it...:sigh:
Well, the bright side is we have not given up and we won't.

Let's try finding resolutions thru wireless connections. I will need you to disable the Firewall and Security completely from your router, save the settings, exit out and see if LMI works. Then little by little we'll put everything back, we'll start with the Firewall, then test your LMI again.

Have you ever Port forwarded these Port Nos. 80, 443 and 2002 in your router?

 

[hubie]

thanks 2xg, will get on it this weekend

 

[hubie]

2xg, we're back to working! (although unsecure). what's the next step?

 

[2xg]

Alright...that's good. Have you also Port Forwarded the LMI Port Nos?

Now, try WEP Security for now then Save the setting in your router and try LMI for a little while. If you have not got disconnected change the Security to WPA test LMI again. I hope it works this time and that's it.

Pls report back.

2xg - will try the security settings next.

I dont recall if I "port forwarded the LMI port Nos". I dont even know what this means, however I followed all the instructions from my other post (none of which solved the problem), so it is possible I "port forwarded the LMI port Nos".

If you could tell me in lehmans terms what that means, i'll be able to give a better answer

Thanks again, i'll update tonight or tomorrow

You might have done it, but just in case this link will give you a full guide on how to do port forwarding on Port Nos. 80, 443 and 2002 (LMI Port Nos).
