* Run the "Moonlight Internet Streaming Tester" found in the [Moonlight Internet Streaming Helper](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/Internet-Streaming-Helper/releases) and ask for help on our [Discord server](https://discord.gg/MySTSdq). Be sure to have the tester log handy.
_Note:_ Some Internet Service providers change the external IP address in use by any given subscriber on a regular basis. Since Moonlight needs to connect to the right IP address, this change can cause problems for Moonlight. Using a dynamic DNS service like [No-IP](http://www.noip.com) will give Moonlight a consistent name to use for connecting, even if the IP address that's associated with that name changes a lot.
### Manual port forwarding (advanced)

## Firewall setup
If you are not able to stream when connected to the same network as your gaming PC, you may need to add firewall rules to stream successfully. First, try disabling the firewall software on your gaming PC (usually Windows Firewall or a firewall integrated into your anti-virus software) to confirm it's a firewall-related problem.
