"Arriba-Minigrid" (Windows)

[Mareta Dagostino]

I think, Freaky means the often called "loopback" feature, which is missing in more and more recent routers. If your viewer is on the same internal side of the router as the server, it requests the external IP from the "wrong" side of the network, where the internal IP's of the home network are valid (usually something like 192.168....). Routers with IP NAT reflection accept external requests from the internal side.

The missing loopback feature is the most annoying problem on home driven servers, as there are no good solutions apart from buying a new router.

EDIT: But before you buy a new router, you should assure that the feature is really missing! Maybe, you can switch the feature on in your existing router, or your problem is something else.
