So I successfully connect to my apex using the service here:

http://www.reeftronics.net/network-diagnostic

everything checks out and according to the neptune documentation I should now be able to access my controller with my iPhone. I still cannot do this when on wifi or when on 3G.

Most of the time the app says "invalid response" and a few times it says "timed out".

So I'm getting closer but still not quite there. I entered my dyndns address which I used to perform the reeftronics test and also the port which is 8080. The reeftronics test says the port is open and it successfully downloaded the xml file off my controller.

I can access the controller still directly from my browser when inside the network.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Btw I disconnected the Apple router.

I should add that I have successfully loaded the controller's browser page on my phone with wifi turned off (so from outside my network) using mydyndnsdomain.com:8080 but only a handful of times. usually it seems to just hang but every now and then it works. And a few times with the iPhone app I got the login prompt to appear but usually I see the errors I mentioned. Seems I'm really close but something isn't right.

ok not sure what was going on before. I can now access the controller on my phone on 3G without fail. Still no luck with the app using wifi or 3G. The app does find the controller but I cannot get the app to load anything after that.

well it sounds like you have the networking part figured out. Hopfully someone who has the app working can help you out.
