I guess I'm confused as to how exactly you're "setting" the repeater to a different IP?
The repeater will use the IP address of the computer it is run on.
I take it you've followed the installation guide and checked that your ports are forwarded to the repeater correctly?

In your case it seems you don't have an extra computer to run the repeater on and you wish to run it on the same computer as the viewer.
This is fine unless your router doesn't support loopback connections.
I suggest you modify the \Viewer\bin\chunkviewer.ini file
after compiling and put in your local IP address instead of the WAN address.
- Code: Select all
[Repeater]
Address=192.168.xxx.xxx:5901
I guess my concept of how the repeater works is a little cloudy.
The repeater is what connects ChunkViewer and InstantSupport together. Basically both will make a connection to the repeater with the same ID number and the repeater will allow communication between them. Think of it as a middle man.
Keep in mind that it is recommended to run the repeater in a stationary network location.
