Title
No access to my database in the internet (web) with the IP address
Post
I published my database using Instant Web Publishing... I tried to access the database with the iMac of my daughter in the same wireless network in my home. That works fine using the URL http://192.168.1.62/ provided in the IWP dialog of Filemaker Pro. Great!
But this does not work over the internet. To access through the internet I need the IP address of my router, as far as I know. I have the address. But this does not help me nothing. The browser says that there is no connection to this address.
Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
When you say you have the router address, is it something like 192.168.1.0?
If so, that's the routers address from INSIDE your home LAN.
You need the IP address provided by your ISP. It's listed in your router config or just go to:

Next step is punching a hole thru your firewall. You have to tell the firewall(usually built in to the router) to allow access on the filemaker port 591 or port 80.
Hope that helps/
