Last thing first:

C:\Users\Ocean 2>”C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe” –upnpmap
NX> 500 ERROR: Only a user with administrative privileges can use option: upnpmap.

C:\Users\Ocean 2>”C:\Program Files (x86)\NoMachine\bin\nxserver.exe” –upnpstatus
Local IP                   192.168.1.115
Gateway IP                 192.168.1.1
External IP                10.1.10.10
NX port 4000 mapped to:    10.1.10.10:24564

 

Using the link you provided above, I only got an IPv6 returned to me, but I thought to google search alternatives and found some that were returning a IPv4 of 67.170.220.172 — so, not a match.

Still fuzzy on the next step, sorry!

“connecting over the Internet will require manual configuration of the host computer’s firewall and router.”

Can someone describe how to do this?

[YourCall]

I honestly don’t mean to be a problem, but when I say “explain it like I am five”, I really mean that.

As noted, I successfully set up NoMachine on one of my two machines that I am trying to remote into.  It works GREAT!  But it’s the second computer that is giving me problems.

I recognize all of the words of ” Can you try to forward the port on the router manually” but I don’t actually understand the HOW of it.  When I follow your “How to connect link” I see an instruction there of

*****

If you using NoMachine (free), edit the server configuration  file (namely server.cfg) and set:

EnableUPnP NX        for users connecting with the NX protocol

Then restart NoMachine.

*****

But what on earth does “set” mean in this context?  “EnableUPnP NX” does NOT have a “#” in front of it in the server.cfg file, so that makes it “set”? Is that right?  (Honestly: I don’t know!)  It *looks* right to me  (on BOTH computers, too)

[I’m not even truly sure which way we’re using “client” and “server” here — the server is the computer that is trying to initiate the contact, and the client is the computer you’re trying to log in to, correct?  Because the log I sent *was* from the initiating computer, not the “client”]

As I noted, the link Kroy mentioned to find the IP didn’t result in a “IPv4” result of “10.1.10.10:24564” that NoMachine on the remote computer told me was the IP — it gave me a “IPv6” result of “2603:3024:1e02:c2f0:8d60:74d0:393f:afab”.  But I don’t know what I am meant to be doing with that?

Basically: not sure what my next step is here.

Hi,

I did forward the logs to the email address listed above by Bilbotine.

As for Kroy’s response: I’m just a fairly dumb user, so I’m really not sure about most of the terminology that’s being used here (and even looking these terms up still isn’t precisely clear)… but AH-HA! using that IP finding link above it appears that the IP for that computer is a “IPv6” and not “IPv4”. (I have noted the long long string, for later)

What, exactly, I need to do with this information isn’t clear to me, however?

Can someone explain it like I am five?
