provide an external port that must be free Open the router admin panel by typing its internal IP address in a browser (also named as 'Default gateway'). That means you have to configure the router manually.ĭue to the great variety of routers, we can provide just some general guidelines and recommend you consult the official documentation of your router model for more details or to its support facilities for configuring it. If the external IP and port don't appear in the UI, it means that the automatic port forwarding was not possible.Ī message similar to the following, also indicates that port forwarding is not properly configured on the router.Ī connection timeout has occurred while trying to connect to '151.1.192.128' on port '29382' When the automatic port forwarding completes successfully, the external IP and port are shown in the Welcome panel of the NoMachine UI:Īnd in the 'server status' panel (click on the !M icon in the system tray to open it). If these conditions are not met, automatic port forwarding will be not set.

The router must support UPnP or NAT-PMP commands and needs to have port forwarding enabled. The free edition of NoMachine tries to do that automatically so that no further actions are needed, but this is not always possible. port forwarding must have been configured on the router to send a request for external port 29382 to internal port 4000 on the computer which has internal IP 192.168.2.29. When you connect with NoMachine to the host 151.1.192.128 and port 29382, the router needs to know where to forward the request for port 29382. Let's say that the public IP of your router is 151.1.192.128 and the external port is 29382 and that your computer at home or office has internal IP 192.168.2.29. When you connect with NoMachine from an external device, set the external IP address + the external port in the connection set-up. Port-forwarding is configured on the side that you want to connect to. This is called 'port forwarding' or 'port mapping'. To allow NoMachine traffic to get from outside into your computer at home or office, it's necessary to map an external port to the internal port 4000.

Outside the private network, only the external (called also 'public') IP address assigned to the router is visible. You will need to configure port forwarding on your home-based router to access your computer. So, for example, your computer is at home and you want to access it while you are away. Internal IPs and ports are not accessible from outside. To connect from computerB to computerA, set: To connect with NoMachine from computerA to -> computerB, set in the NoMachine connection: To accept connections from another device, the NoMachine service (nxd) on that computer listens on the internal port 4000 (this is a TCP port).įor example: computerA and computerB are in the same network at home or office.

Troubleshooting for most common cases requiring manual configuration of the routerĤ.1. How to configure the router manually through its administrative interfaceģ. So, we need to distinguish two cases: (i) when connecting by NoMachine from the same network and (ii) when connecting from a different network like over the Internet. In most cases, the computer is behind a NAT (Network Address Translation) router which translates the internal IP addresses of computers in the local private network to a single IP address, accessible from outside that private network. This article refers to NoMachine v.7 installations, or earlier.Įvery computer in a private network like that of your home or office is identified by an internal or private IP address.
