## Step 0 - Know your network
|
|
|
|
**Not all internet connections are equal.**
|
|
|
|
If you are connected to the internet with a 4g cell connection, this guide will not work! A 4g internet connection is not the same as cable connection to your home. The 4g connection will block all incoming connections to your computer. A cable connection will allow incoming connections.
|
|
|
|
There's a small chance your internet service provider will block incoming connections to your ISP. This is unlikely, but it does happen.
|
|
|
|
**Know Your IP Address**
|
|
|
|
You will need to know your IP address to connect to your mStream server. You can find your IP address with https://www.whatsmyip.org/
|
|
|
|
**Your IP Address Can Change**
|
|
|
|
Your home internet connection most likely uses a Dynamic IP Address. This means your IP address can randomly change.
|
|
|
|
The good news is your IP address probably won't change unless you have a power outage. But there is a chance that it might just change randomly on you. Keep this in mind if you connection to your home server stops working. |
