ok, so I'm pretty good at following directions, but I'm pretty bad at networking issues with computers 
I have Gmote installed on both my home and work computers. When I am at home or work and connected to the WIFI networks respectively, I generally don't have any issues connecting to those computers with my phone.
I am attempting to utilize the 3G connection for my home computer, so that if I'm out and want to connect to that server, I am able to.
I went into my router's settings (I have a Netgear WGR614....or something like that) and went to port forwarding, I added a new connection and titled it "Gmote", set the in and out ports to 8889 (made sure it was both TCP/UDP); and then did the same for "Gmote Touchpad" setting both in and out to 9901; applied the settings and logged out.
I got to work today, turned the WIFI off (so that I'm not connected to my works wireless network) and searched for the server. I chose to enter it manually and changed only the IP to what my local IP address is on my computer at home. After hitting done, it still won't connect.
FWIW, I have an iMac at home that I am trying to connect to. I haven't done anything with the firewalls yet. Is there a connection error that would alert me if the firewall was the issue?
Does anyone have any insight as to how this can be resolved? I appreciate any help anyone can provide.
Thanks guys.
