Hi again Ken, as stated by tomcctv, if you are trying to login on your WAN connection, whilst on LAN, this could be the cause of your problem, it sounds as though you are almost there though.

Hi Ken, there are so many posts available on here on how to set up your router, dvr, it is all dependant on forwarding ports from your router to your dvr internal ip adress,if you end up totally stuck let me know and I will send my number via pm

hope this may help, although i may be stating the obvious, you say that you have opened the ports, the d-link requires a firewall rule to be created also, you will find this under application rules, enter the ip you are forwarding to and also the ports,this will then allow acces through the firewall.

64 bit can cause poblems, if you run ie in 32 bit you may find it cures your problem

did also send you a pm, did you recieve it?

only other option i suggest is select dhcp and allocate ip that way, see how you go, it should still work on WAN

http 80 is web viewing port, the other is media unless someone corrects me on this, but 80 is definitly your viewing port

Sorry bout the typo,s it should have read ports 6001 6002 and 6003 as well as port 80 I believe the 3 other ports are for mobile phone viewing as I cant find my user guide

Hi I also have the same unit but the word netcard does not appear, only dhcp, or static,with regards to port forwarding, I am unsure on your model of router,you Must enable upnp on the router, open port 80,also I believe ports 6002, 6002 and 6003 on t=this model dvr, it should be on the user guide which ports are needed,you will need to define your own internal ip to the dvr and forward ports on the router to this adress, any ip between 2 and 254 can be assigned priding you are not running a few pc on the lower numbers, if in doubt assighn a number of example 145 to the dvr

just wondered if any one else has had a problem with Avtechs video viewer software? I have it installed on the desktop running windows 7 and it works withput a problem, on the laptop also running Windows 7 I cannot get it to playback at all, I was hoping someone may be able to suggest why it wont give playback on the laptop?

can anyone suggest viewing software for maplins sentient dvr please code nn09 i have found the dvr software unreliable to say the least thanks in advance

thanks for thr help recieved here, all is now good and the setup is working at last, I have here the updated firmware emailed from mcn or mcnl (the units manufacturer) this has been the problem, should anyone need this please email me I will be happy to send it to you, all the best to all and thanks again Best regards Keith keith.thomas80@ntlworld.com

Firstly hi, I am new here so hello to you all, I have read many topics here, but still feel the need for help, I purchased a Sentient 250 gb dvr from Maplin, it will login on lan, but refuses to on wan, I have checked port forwarding with pf port checker software, it tells me the p[orts are correctly forwarded, it logs on fine on lan, and although I can access the dvr login page on wan, it simply says login error, I have seen many posts here saying the same, but have found no solution yet, please help, I have spent over a week trying this including returning the dvr for a new one. many thanks Keith

yes all ports have been forwarded to the dvr internal ip if anyone wishes to attempt to view my setup to see if they are able to then my ip is 86.20.47.247 port is still set at 80 user name is Admin password is 888888 obviously once I have resolved this problem I will change the details !! many thanks

ok quick update, the router is a dir 615 dlink, I have opened ports 6001 6002 6003 as stated in the manual, port 80 has been dealt with in the same way, pfport checker states all are open, shields up, after web browser testing report port 80 stealthed, same report for all other http ports ive tried to.

no its a 250gb with 2 cameras maplin code nn09

Isp is virgin media, all is fine on Lan, nothing at all on Wan except the dvr login page which wont allow me to login
