You need the WAN IP and the port, usually 8080.

It goes something like this...

What you need to do is DISABLED BLOCK WAN REQUEST..
this may get in your way and not process your request..

also you will need the WAN ip of the router and enable remote management its at default set to 8080..

well you may also want to check the isp in which that system is on if they block specific ports and just specify a new port on the remote management feature of the router..

after that your use your IE or NETSCAPE or others and just on the address bar type

http://wan

ip:8080

1. Go to the advance tab of your router setup page
