Maximus IV Extreme - How to use iDirect from outside your network

[Adam1203]

[EDIT] The below steps can also be used on the TurboV iPhone app for the P8P67 boards.

So I was thinking, there had to be an easy way of forwarding some ports on my NAT device to get iDirect to work via 3G. Well.... I was right.

Here are the steps:

1 - Forward port 9999 to your PC that is running ASUS Mobilink
2 - Create a new connection in iDirect on your iPhone that matches your WAN IP
3 - Make sure WIFI is selected and choose the new connection you just made

Done, you can now monitor and OC your PC on the go.

[NOTE] I know that not everyone has a static WAN IP, but I have cable and my dynamic hasn't changed in a VERY long time. If it does, just update the connection address.

You can also get a free dynamic DNS account and install a small application to auto-update the IP when it changes. E.g. http://www.no-ip.com/services/managed_dns/free_dynamic_dns.html
