Requirements to be able to run TSS over the internet from a laptop or portable computer mtas has to be able to be accessed over the web

In order to be able to remotely open and fully use TSS over the internet you have to be able to access MTAS aka Installernet application server which runs and can be accessed if port 4325 is broadcast over the internet. 

You can broadcast port 4325 by turning on port forwarding on your router in the office.

You will need to login to your router in the office and add an entry to the port forwarding section similar to what is below

 Every router is a bit different but in general you have to allow the MTAS executable through the firewall, and using the public ip address for your company that can be found by going to http://www.whatismyipaddress.com  and that will show your public ip address that you could on a laptop or portable computer install the client version of TSS and add an entry for your server using that public ip address

To test port forwarding you can go to a browser and enter

http://publicip:4325/soap and if it is working you will get an xml configuration page similar to
