A short note on how I got this to work if anybody else is having similar issues: After an awful lot of Googling I eventually found out what you were talking about. This process is achieved using one of two methods; 1. Port Address Translation or PAT. This allows you to use several port numbers as a proxies for the one that the server is listening on. The proxy ports are known as "origin" ports and the port that the server is listening on is known as the "destination" port. In this case I could use 443 as the "origin" and 9000 as the "destination". 2. Virtual Server. This is a simple extension of Port Forwarding that allows the incoming port number to be different from the port number the server is listening on. This means doing two separate port forward entries: [external ip]:9000 -> [internal ip]:9000 [external ip]:443 -> [internal ip]:9000 My rather ancient Netgear DG834GT router allowed Port Forwarding but did not have a Virtual Server function or PAT available in the firmware. So I bought a new router that had a Virtual Server setup. That took quite a bit of time as it involved downloading a lot of instruction manuals as this is not often listed as a "feature" in the specifications of most routers sold to the general public. Anyway, the new router came with a host of other improvements, such as much faster wi-fi and better stability, so it was worth doing even without making remote LMS work. Like most computer stuff it is "simple when you know how" - it is finding the "know how" that is difficult!
