did it work with the linksys router? if so, then you can eliminate the pc, or the dvr software being the problem. also, i am not sure how your current software works, but i do know that for geovision systems, typically 3 ports need to be opened up for remote access to work. also, i cant remember if i read it in the original thread or not, but make sure your DVR system has a static ip addy. your dlink router can still be set to DHCP mode, but the computer itself should have a static ip address.

this is what the interface looks like when i connect remotely Thanks guys...

here is a close up of one of the black chips on the board. its a bit blurry, but the best i could do. i will also try to post a pic of the dvr program (the program that shows my cameras) Thanks guys

not sure which chip it uses. this dvr box doesnt have anything on the outside and google didnt help me with any search results thanks for all this help guys, i appreciate it.

if you open the picture with windows picture and fax viewer you can zoom in on the numbers. i also typed out what the model number of the card is. i can zoom in and take a another pic. what would you like a closer view on? ill try to get any angle you need. thanks

i dont understand why the model number on the card just isnt helping me when searching...??? thanks

its pretty sad actually, i cant really give you any more information. maybe i can rip the card out of the pc on monday and see if it has any info that might be useful to you. the computers that it is working on are windows xp. it just not working on all the machines with xp that we have. SP2 doesnt seem to be an issue. i really dont have any paperwork on this machine, so i am not sure how many more details i could give you. i already started to browse through the source code to look at line 1237. something about java, i can post the exact line if you want, that might be some help. personally, i think this is 100% a software issue. however, i am not an expert with DVRs so that is just what my instinct tells me, from seeing this work on other pcs and not work on other pcs. IE, i have 2 computers at home, both with xp pro. it works on one but not on the other. thanks for your help so far. i will see what else i can dig up for you. ps, bill and i know e/o. dont think that 2 people are having the same problem. haha...

this is the error message i took a screen shot of the error when i was on the network internally, thats why you see a private IP addy in the error message.
