Unfortunately, this doesn't work on a different wifi network. YACReader sets the IP address as a local network address (192.168...), not a public IP. How can I config YACReader to my public IP? Also, my firewall is off.

Drybonz Offline Expert Boarder Posts: 80 Thank you received: 2 Karma: 0	I'm not sure if you can do it through YACReader by itself... if you can I'm not sure how. ...but you can use something like DynDNS to access off your local network. I used to do this with another reader. dyn.com/dns/?utm_expid=53354006-88.q81ZL...%2Fwww.google.com%2F I, personally, found that I didn't read that much out of my own network so I stopped doing it, but it works fine.

Thanks. I actually read this forum post: www.yacreader.com/forum/support-windows/162-comics-server

It helped me enable port forwarding on my router and now everything seems to work! It feels so good. Unfortunately, as Drybonz indicated, everything cannot be set up through YacReader; You have to configure stuff on your own network as well. It would be nice if YacReader could do this, but I think it's unrealistic as I had to go a few levels into my router to modify this. (I'd never want any program to have this kind of access to my network.)

Thank you all. Now I'm going to g read some comics!
