  • Your ISP is already performing Network Address Translation (NAT) and assigning you with a private IP address which cannot be reached from outside of their network.
  • You are behind some other Network Address Translation router at your facility which has assigned you this private IP address.

If you wish to make any changes to this file you can simply edit this file with any text editor (such as SimpleText). Please see our IPNetSentry Command Syntax document for further details on editing this file.

If you are still having problems, please open a support case so that we can best assist you.
