The latter is a sort of 'fake' address not available from the Internet. You might need, for example, to connect to 214.111.133.10 from outside your network, and your router might convert that to 192.168.0.15. This is called NAT (Network Address Translation) or port forwarding. You can't connect to one of these from outside the network, unless your router makes the switch. Īddresses like 192.168.0.* or 192.168.1.* are special addresses used only on internal networks. You can find out what your outside address is by visiting or. The outside address is the only one available from the Internet.

A cable modem, for example, has both an inside and an outside address. The port you use must be accessible (not blocked by a firewall) from outside your network, and you must be using the outside address of your network. It the port is open all the way, it will succeed. The test feature attempts to connect from a server at JRiver directly to the server running on your PC.It also gets updated when the addresses change. JRiver's Access Key Server keeps track of both the inside and outside IP addresses.The Access Key is a six character alphabetic string, which tells another copy of MC what server and IP address to connect to.If not, you can still connect locally when both devices are on the same LAN. It will tell you if you can access your machine from outside your home network. If you choose to connect to your home server from another PC or phone, you can use the test feature and the Access Key (from MC Options > Media Network > and click on Access Key) for access to your home PC.
