    Hey Kristich,

     

    Is the server that you have created behind some NAT, etc?

    If you are using an IP of the form 10.x.x.x or 172.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x then these are private IPv4 address spaces and not public IPs(which is unique), and you wont be able access them from outside.

    One way is that you can take a public IP which will be provided to you by your ISP and then setup your server over that. Then you can use FMS easily over it.

    You just need deploy FMS on a public IP same as you would have done on your internal network and things would just work fine. Apart from that can please elaborate your query.

    You need to change the IPv4 settings in the local area connection properties. You need to out out your public IP and the DNS of your ISP. For this you may even contact your ISP to guide you through there settings.

     

    hope this helps
