To be fair it did work right away, I just plugged in the router to the micro filter and away it went. The speed is very good even though for the first few weeks they throttle it back at first and increase it slowly to see what the maximum speed is that your line can take.
We do however have a small network where 2 computers run the website (http://hakuraman.gotdns.com) Sally has her games machine and I have a laptop for daily use.
The router configuration for port forwarding of the website is easy to understand but just didn't work. I looked at the sky forums and a number of people had the same problem i had. Either the port forwarding looked ok and produced a "site not found" error when you tried to view it. Or strangely enough when yo looked for the site it brought up the "general" page on the router!? There were lots of suggestions on the forums but no real solutions.
I swore at it most of the afternoon and must have rebooted the computers a number of times all to no avail. But then wait! viola! it worked. I reckon it must have been something to do with how the network was examining the ports i was trying to use for the HTTP and the Webcam. Anyway this morning its all still trundling along fine. I just need to test the website from an outside the network source today to make sure that bit works.
