Can't access BIM server 18 with domain name

[Jere]

Hi,

I'm trying to set up networking to remotely access the BIM server, which is on my computer at my office.

I believe I have everything set up correctly on the ArchiCAD side as I can remotely access the BIM server by punching into ArchiCAD my WAN static IP + port:

111.222.333.444:1228.

Since I can access the BIM server, this suggests I've got the port forwarding setup correctly to access my work computer.

However, when I punch in the subdomain of my website "bim.xxxx.ca" it doesn't work. My webhost set up an A record that points my subdomain to my IP address.

Any thoughts?

did you solve your problem?

I'm trying to set up remote access on 18 too and asked all kind of people for help, including graphisoft USA but didn't get a helpful answer.

I went to the local Mac store and asked if they could recommend a network guy, emailed him, described my problem and never heard back.

why is that so?

Hello,

Just to make sure, you used the port too?

bim.xxxx.ca:1228
