Yes that helps but I don't understand the last part. My laptop is a brand new Asus with Windows 8. Does that help?
I will look at that link and start trying to figure it out tonight.
Lol... you didn't tell the rest of the story
Which part is "the last part"?
Here are the steps at a high level...what steps have you done?
-Getting dynamic DNS service from a provider
-Setting IP address on the Apex
-Setting up Port Forwarding on your router
-Configuring updates of your IP to dynamic dns service provider on your router or PC
Your PC operating system doesn't really have anything to do with it.
