Shark RF IP client/server setup

N1KFK

Hello. I am trying to make it so that two open spot 4 pros can communicate directly to each other over the Internet. One of them is set up as a server and the other as a client. However, the open spot Spot 4 pro that is a server has an internal IP address assigned to it. The problem is is that I cannot connect to an internal IP address over the Internet so can someone please explain to me what I am missing?

N1KFK "port forwarding"

Most home networks have an external, or public IP address, and an internal network of IP addresses managed by the router. To allow an outside connection to one of those internal IP addresses we forward a port (in the case of the OpenSpot "65100") from the outside to the inside address of the OpenSpot.

How you do that varies with the router hardware.
