no I do no have the wifi checked on both of my hosts.

one is local 192.168.2.XX the other is my dyndns host which works fine for ssh, sab, sick, CP

can anyone confirm the remote can connect remotely via 3g and NOT use the LAN to connect?

Yes, the remote works flawlessly (slow sometimes Wink

) through 3g.

errr I wonder why I am not able to connect to the box via the xbmc remote but if I use that other remote I can connect via 3g

I just tried it with wifi disabled going through my cell phones network and it worked fine.

Must be a setting you missed somewhere.

I just went through a nightmare and ended up reinstalling only to not fix the problem...my screen was shifted to the right for some reason. Like the egde of the display area was 2 inches from the edge of the monitor. Ended up being something wrong between the monitor and the video card. Unplugged the VGA cable, plugged it back in and it went away...spent a few hours searching the web and and driving myself nutz on that one ugh.

I dont think that the remote can send keypresses from your phone keyboard to XBMC yet. And I dont know if there will be support in the future

I have tried everything and can not get the XBMC remote or any of the unofficial remotes to work. I have checked all of the port forwarding settings numerous times and no luck. I can connect over 3g to my utorrent client so I know that port forwarding is working. Any ideas? I am forwarding porst 8080, 9777 and 9 to my xbmc box. Works great over wifi.

Not sure why it would affect it, but as soon as I turned of port forwarding for port 9, it started working.
