I have XBMC on my XBOX, while Apache2 and HTTP-R are on a Ubuntu linux workstation. I can control XBMC from another computer on the LAN, but I cannot get to it from my blackberry phone that does not have wifi. I need httpd to be accessible from the outside internet. Thanks in advance for helping me!
OK, I got it working now. Turns out my ISP Suddenlink blocks port 80. I was trying to use port forwarding on my router to change from 80 to 81 to get away from having to include the port in the addy. Now I forward port 81 like normal and have to include it in the the address, like this http://74.165.23.999:81/XBMC
Now to see if I can tweek the widths for my ancient blackberry 8700.
