how do I configure TWS to work via the Internet?

I've tried configuring the INI file with all the external settings in it and can get the main page up however everytime i select movies/photos/music i get TWS trting to re-direct me to the internal IP address fo my WHS/TWS Box.

I also cant get the flash interface to load at all from the the internet - works fine inside my network along with everything else tho.

There are a few changes from the version this was written for but largely it's correct and you should be able to work it out. The real gotcha is step 23. Don't put the port number on the end of the URL. If you do it will append the port number twice to all the URLs from an external connection e.g. you'll see http://server.domain.com:9100:9100

That one gotcha was what got me scratching my head for a wee while, once I'd fixed that it was all systems go.

Next step for me is more robust security.

Good luck!
