i typed that! DHCP is correct, not DNS :-)

I know I'm being a bit picky, but wouldn't it be DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) that assigns the IP addresses, rather than DNS
(Domain Name System)? DNS might assign local domain names to the IP's
though.

Thanks

Basic instructions - I did this for the a sky router, but hopefully
will be vaguely similar for any other one.

1 - Log into your router's administration site

2 - Look for something relating to "services"

3 - Add a new service, if it asks for a beginning and end port, you
can just select 5500 for both.

4 - If you are using DNS to assign IP addresses to your local network,
you may want to check this section and try to reserve an IP address
for the machine you want to use Gitso on - this will mean that the
firewall will use the same IP address to send the gitso information
to.

5 - Go to the firewall rules.  Add an outbound rule for the service
you created previously.  Add an incoming rule for the service and
point it towards the internal LAN IP address that you have reserved
for the machine you are going to give support from.

6 - Save and apply settings.

Remember when giving support, the person needs to use your IP address
that is your connection to the internet.  this can be found by either
looking at the routers status / connection page, or visiting a site
such as http://whatsmyip.org/ - this IP address might change if your
router re-connects.

If all else fails, I could use gitso to help you out - hehe

http://portforward.com/ Will give route specific instructions on how
to port forward and thus get that gitso traffic to you.

Hi mate

You need to do this on your router and have a static internal ip. Go  
to www.portforward.com and follow any guide but just use a different  
port (5500).
