Port Porwarding?

I got my Comet working. It hung completely (70% then timeout) with the original firmware, but after figuring out there was an upgrade, I got it working. It is aparent the current software is very BETA.

I would like to set a static IP, can this be done? I could do it at the router level but is there a setting for the device.

My main issues is I want to use it when I am outside of my firewall. Do I need to forward ports?

You don't need any port forwarding, glient will provide free remote services.
Static IP will be added in future versions
