Step 15 - Internal Web Site Testing - You now want test the server itself to make sure that the ports are changed properly and the Windows Firewall is accepting connections on those ports. Using the laptop or desktop you were using in the prior steps, open up a web browser and try to get to the INTERNAL IP ADDRESS of the MediaSmart. In the example below, our MediaSmart is at 192.168.1.103. Keep in mind that your MediaSmart internal IP may be different. Try your Internal IP:port in your browser like so:

As per our example, we used http://192.168.1.103:1024 (This is a normal HTTP request going to port 1024)

http://INTERNALIP:1024
http://INTERNALIP:1024/home

Now try the following secure URL’s below:

As per our example, we used https://192.168.1.103:4443 (This is a SSL Encrypted request going to port 4443)

https://INTERNALIP:4443
https://INTERNALIP:4443/home
https://INTERNALIP:4443/remote
