The tech support force is strong with me this evening...

Summarised from a Skype call just now...

[livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove: I've finally got my new router working!
* [livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove rants for 5 minutes about websites that hide the latest firmware version
[livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove: ...except I can't get the port forwarding to work. I've added an entry for the web server.
[livejournal.com profile] boggyb: What IP address does your router think it has?
* [livejournal.com profile] boggyb tries that address
[livejournal.com profile] boggyb: Works for me.
[livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove: Oh sod.
* [livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove tries that address
[livejournal.com profile] pleaseremove: That's working. That wasn't working ten minutes ago!
