Thanks Larry for taking the time to explain this to me…we will take a look at doing it this way.

You said: "I have configured the General Tab within Commander Configuration with the IP Address of my home computer, and listed the IP Port as 4992." ?

If you operate remote this won’t work because there is no valid routing information for DX Commander to connect to the radio.? If you want to establish a direct connection to the 6500 without using SmartSDR CAT you need to enable port forwarding on your home router per this article as Dave noted:
?
Also, you need a fixed public IP address for your home router and a fixed IP address for your 6500. With this method you can specify WSJTX Radio to DX Lab Suite Commander or configure to connect to a SmartSDR CAT serial port per my previous post.?

Here is yet another method for remote ops:
?
1) Create a new TCP port for SmartSDR CAT (for example port 60000)
2) Configure WSJTX Radio to Flex6xxx
3) Configure WSJTX Network Server to: 127.0.0.1:60000
4) Configure DX Commander Radio to FLEXCAT (essentially the same as KENWOOD) and set Primary CAT Serial Port to a valid SmartSDR CAT port number.
?
Alternatively, I've tried setting DX Commander to a Flex 6600 and the IP address to the localhost IP address: 127.0.0.1 and the IP Port number to a valid SmartSDR CAT TCP port number, but that doesn't work. But,? it doesn't need to work, because other methods work flawlessly.?
