not sure if Milestone can handle using the DNS name, perhaps that is also part of the problem. It's worth noting that Milestone is currently configured with my 'external access' IP for internet access configured to be my static WAN IP, not my DNS name.

Once I did all of this, I could access the server using my dndns name. A step that confused me before but appears to be necessary is that even though the server appears to be 'up and running' (you can see it in the system tray, etc) it still needs to be added to the primary Milestone admin. I had also uninstalled the 2.5a version of the mobile server and instead configured the 2.0a version that is bundled with the primary installer. Interestingly, even though I had deleted the previous version installation file, when this one installed my entire config was still on the box (nifty). I reinstalled the software, this time installing the 'essentials version'. OK, I think I've resolved it, but not 100% sure what did it. so what seems to be happening is that Milestone is telling the remote client to connect to it's NAT IP instead of the external IP. When I access the system from the internet ( What I see come back in my browser is 'waiting for 192.168.0.10:8081'. and they use the same port as the iOS app! however, I am unable to get the Milestone client app or web client working. On the internet, pointing to my home router via DynDNS, I can get the Milestone Mobile App working on my iOS device. I can get all clients and services working when pointed to the local IP of the box.

On the local network, everything works fine. On my home router I forwarded ports 8080 (the one I used for Milestone's primary install as port 80 was in use on the machine), 8081 (mobile http) and 8081 (secure http) to the box running Milestone. I also downloaded and installed Milestone Mobile server components.

It is working really well other than a very frustrating problem so I'm wondering if anyone here has any ideas.Īt install time, Milestone gives the option of specifying an internal and external IP address.

I installed the software with the 30 day trial license, onto a spare Windows Home Server I had around (basically Windows Server 2003). So, in an effort to move away from my buggy Synology setup I have been giving Milestone XProtect Express a shot.
