Oh, ok...so you can get to my server without specifying the port. I got worried. I tried first to use port forwarding on my router and couldn't get it to work. Since I have a dynamic IP address I need to use no-ip.com...when their software isn't running on my server then my server only works locally. Their software seems to mess up my router's ability to port forward to port 8001 where my gnump3d server streams. The no-ip software needs port 8245 open....maybe I should port forward to port 8245 rather than 8001 on my router?

Normally, this is not a big problem (home users, universities, etc...) but in a corporate or office environment, any network a little bit protected should have its ports closed, unless there is a business case to open such non-standard ports. Another way is to use redirection from your router at home. Many of those will allow you to setup something like: Anything received on port 8080/TCP is redirected internally to IP 192.168.1.32, on port 8080/TCP.
