if you used the wizard to create your code, it will add it for you. but if you want to add it manually, you need this line in your loop.

Code: Select all

ReefAngel.Portal("klunk81");

I think he mentioned that the portal is getting data, but he can't connect remotely.
You may need to contact your Internet provider to help you setup port forwarding.

hi guys,
I contacted my service provider and they said that they could not help because it was not part of there service(im with Telstra bigpond in Australia) so I called a technician and he remotely tried to set up port forwarding to no avail, my router is a thomson TG82T,i also tried utube and gave it a go myself but the issue seems to be that my outside ip address is not being recognised, found or blocked im sorry but im not really tech savy but I will get another tech over in the morning and see if he has any luck, I will get him to log onto the forum for any help.
look forward to your reply
cheers
