Hello Everyone

I have an interesting puzzle I need some help with.  I am trying to forward ports 80 as well as 8080 in my ISP provided router but I can't do it because my LOGO does not appear to be "online" so I can't select it from a drop down menu.  The thing is, the LOGO is online.  It works properly and the customized webpage is accessible from the network.  It pings properly.  Everything is fine from a networking point of view but the router doesn't see it as online.

I was thinking this was a router issue but then I noticed that in SoftComfort - FILE - PROPERTIES - GENERAL that the device name is greyed out.  See screen cap.  No matter what I do I can't seem to give the device a name - the field is always grey out.  I was thinking that if I name the device it will show up on my network??

Any thoughts?

I think a device name can only entered in network mode, not in diagram mode.

But I don't think that is the reason (no device name) hat you can't see the LOGO! in your network.

Want you connect the LOGO! to a other network? If no, then delete the gateway address.

Want you use a DNS server? If no, then delete the check mark by "Customize DNS Server" and delete DNS Server address.

I can see my LOGO!s in the network without device names, gateway address, DNS server address.

 That's interesting and thanks for the reply.  I just did a factory reset on the LOGO and configured IP and subnet only with no other config.  Again, everything works fine.  It pings and ComfortSoft can find it but my ISP router doesn't see it so it must be a router issue.  I will give it another 30 mins, maybe it's just a network polling issue.  Otherwise I will try an different router and bridge my ISP router/modem

 Nope.  My ISP modem/router still does not see the LOGO as being online when it clearly is.  I will try a different router

I don't know anything about ISP modem/router.

I have AVM Fritz!Box 7490. After this router I have a 8-port switch.
In my network I have 4 LOGO!s, 1 TDE, 1 S7-1212C and Eaton easyE4. No problems.

 The ISP modem/router administers port forwarding by device name primarily and then IP secondary.  This whole problem is because I cannot issue the LOGO! a device name.  If I could assign the LOGO a device name, the ISP modem/router would be able to see it.  Given that the "Device Name" field is greyed out, I will need to use a different router

I don't think the "Device Name" in LSC is the same as a device name in the network.

You can try this:
Open an empty network project. Right-click on an empty space in the network view. Then select "Import" in the menu and import the LSC diagram.

After importing, click on the gear icon and you can enter or change the device name.

 That works for Network Project name but when I switch back to Diagram tab the name field is still grey out and blank
