[quote=syanni85;444639][quote=lxcivic4life;444626]Sorry I forgot to mention one of the most important steps. If you DO NOT have a Static IP, meaning if your IP Address is 192.168.X.X then you will have to connect your Diamond to the SAME WiFi router of the computer you are trying to remotely control. In other words if you're at home, you will need to connect to your home's WiFi to control your home computer. You CAN NOT use EVDO UNLESS YOU HAVE A STATIC IP (Which is your own IP address that your ISP provides, usually at an extra cost).

so an external ip like 67.184.xxx.xxx is different from a static ip? I thought that was my personal ip?
i'm about to give up for a lil while... gunna go grab some food, chill out, watch some college football, the come back to this later...

Yes you're exactly right...a Static IP is something like 67.184.X.X. For example my business uses a Static IP that is 66.193.243.X
Every computer in the business has that Static IP. I want to connect to my desk's computer, it has a Static IP of 66.193.243.107
So in the "Computer" field on my Diamond, I enter in 66.193.243.107
Since this is a Static IP (My OWN personal IP) I can access this from anywhere I have an EVDO connection, not just on my WiFi.
192.168.X.X is a FREE Class C IP Address that the IEEE has given out to everyone for personal home use, thats why it's a Dynamic IP.
But again, you HAVE to have a Static IP. Check with your ISP if you are not sure. I'm pretty sure many people here do not have Static IPs because it costs extra. ISP won't just give everyone a Static IP because, frankly, they're aren't that many left to give away unless the IEEE begins to use IPv6...but that won't happen for a while and thats another story.
