Can I access my copy of PestaRoo™ from home?
As long as you have broadband internet access at the office, you can connect to your copy of PestaRoo™ from anywhere in the world where web access is available. Many people connect to PestaRoo™ from home.
Do I have to have two copies of PestaRoo™ in order to connect?
Yes, one copy at the office, and one copy on your laptop. Actually, you’ll have PestaRoo™ on one machine, and FileMaker on each machine.
Do I have to have a fixed IP in order for PestaRoo™ to be available from remote sites?
No, but it is much easier. If you do not have a fixed IP at the office, you’ll have to check your current address each time you want to connect.
What Port does FileMaker come in on?
5003
How do I set-up port forwarding on my router?
Basically, you will point port 5003 to the local IP of your office machine that is running PestaRoo™. If this is unfamiliar to you, you can hire a network person to set it up for you. Or, most young people who play remote video games can easily help you.
Do I need to leave PestaRoo™ open on my office computer in order to have access from home?
Yes.
