Hi,

"1. Although all setup items appear to be successful, I am unable to use the http://xxxxxx99.websamsung.net:8080 URL to provide remote viewing as described in the user manual."
My success method was:
STEP 1: Find my current home IP address. I went to www.whatismyip.com. The website gave my HOME IP as 75.2.8.112
STEP 2: From work, to view home, I typed:
http://75.2.8.112:8080
then, I pressed ENTER.
I could view my video (WITH FIREFOX, not INTERNET EXPLORER.)
So, let me present in parts:
http:// YOU MUST HAVE THIS.
75.2.8.112 WAS MY HOME IP ADDRESS. Your HOME IP address may be different. You must use your HOME IP ADDRESS.
: YOU MUST HAVE THIS DOT DOT (COLON : ).
8080 WAS THE PORT THAT MY DVR USED TO SERVE THE VIDEO.
So, if you HOME IP address will be 999.999.999.999, then,
you type:
http://999.999.999.999:8080
(AFTER your IP ADDRESS, Please remember the COLON : )
I hope this helps.
If you have anything helpful, please share. Thank you.
