I don have a wireless router. Can I still use Gmote?
Yes, you can. GMote can operate by going through your cellular network’s data connection. Here are the steps needed to enable this: • Make sure your cell phone is connected to a cell network (you can verify this by browsing to a web page) • Setup port forwarding on your router to forward port 8889 to the computer that is running the GMote server. (note: if you don’t have a WIRED router either, then skip to setp 3) Here are some quick tips on how to do this: • Determine your computer’s local ip address by right clicking on the gmote server icon and selecting ‘help’, ‘show local ip’ • Log into your router and go to the port forwarding section (it might be called NAT settings, or Application and Gaming). • Set the start and end port to 8889, the protocol to ‘both’, and the ip to the local ip of your computer that was determined in step 1 (note: if you plan on using gmote touch, then you’ll also have to forward port 9901). • Determine your external ip (this is different from your local ip)
