### Automatic configuration (recommended for most users)
1. Install the [Moonlight Internet Streaming Helper](https://github.com/moonlight-stream/Internet-Streaming-Helper/releases) on your gaming PC.
2. Make sure the automatic configuration was successful by running "Moonlight Internet Streaming Tester" via the Start Menu.
3. Type the address that is displayed on the tester's success dialog into the Add PC dialog of Moonlight.
3. Confirm everything works by testing it from a different network. Testing connectivity with cellular data or tethering is a good option if you don't have a different network easily reachable.
* If you've previously used Moonlight on the same network as your PC, it should connect automatically over the Internet if you're outside your house.
* If it doesn't connect automatically or it's your first time connecting to this PC, type the address that is displayed on the tester's success dialog into the Add PC dialog of Moonlight.
#### Having trouble?
* Ensure UPnP is enabled in your router settings and delete any older Moonlight port forwarding entries.
* Try streaming from a different network. Some corporate or public WiFi networks block streaming applications like Moonlight.
* 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)
The following ports must be forwarded through your router to your host gaming PC's IP address for streaming to work over the Internet:
If the automatic tool doesn't work, you can try manually forwarding the following ports through your router to your host gaming PC's IP address for streaming to work over the Internet:
* **TCP** 47984, 47989, 48010
* **UDP** 47998, 47999, 48000, 48002, 48010
