Why is my gateway 192.168.001.100 as apposed to my IP which is 192.168.000.100? I cant seem to change that. Does it matter?

That info looks fantastic. Ill go through it step by step and give it a go. Stay posted. Thanks

I've already lost my network once, I was able to get it up an running on my own. In fact, that was still easier than trying to route my DVR over 3G! I have good knowledge of computers which is slightly limited when it comes to networks. But that does not mean I am incapable of achieving something on my own. All I need is some direction through which I can try different ways of solving the problem I have. Like I said, I have a basic understanding of port forwarding and what is required to set up the network with a static IP. The problem, however, is that this issue is obviously more in-depth and I have already had someone help me to no avail. I was able to connect to his network which was configured in exactly the same way mine is (including forwarding), on my mobile phone, but not my own. I understand everyones concern, but I still feel that the comment in question was rude. If it was me on the other end, I would simply not reply. I will take this somewhere else, thanks.

Well look, if you dont want to help, thats fine, just say so. But unfortunately im going to have to work this one out myself. Im not as stupid as you are making out, just need to learn more and there's only one way to do that. Thanks

This router seems to be a little different to others that i have had. It has DHCP on by default so i turned it off. It didnt re assign the IP and it remained the same. I changed it manually which i knew would not work. I had to reset the router in order to restore internet connectivity. Im out of ideas and not sure what i need to do. If i am not mistaken i need to change the second last 3 digits of my ip to '001' to match the gateway ip in my DVR's network properties, so i can then i can create the correct forwarding.

Awesome that is perfect information. Im only trying to understand what i am doing before i do it. No point carrying out suggestions to troubleshoot if you dont know what you are troubleshooting. But what you have explained makes perfect sense and i fully understand the concept. Ill do as you suggested and post results.

Yeah not an issue, im learning but not incompetent when it comes to this stuff. Ok so i basically did everything you suggested bar change ip from static to DHCP and back to static. Mainly because i dont quite understand what this is going to achieve. It it just a process of gaining a NEW static IP address? How will this help me? Do i need to do anything about the gateway address and IP being different in my DVR menu? Thanks for your help

Ok, i had already set up the port forwarding and no issues there. I turned UPNP off and it rebooted my router. I tried to type this into my browser: http://02266a.dvripc.net:86, and it just seems to hang indefinitely. The only thing i didnt do is change my IP from static to dynamic, and then back to static. My IP is already static, what does that achieve exactly? Only reason is that i have a lot of things that connect to that IP within the house and i dont want to stuff about re programming everything, if you can understand. However if it's important i will do it. I too noticed that the gateway and IP are different. Should they be the same? As for the not forwarding that port, how do i go about deciding on which ports to use without just making up a number. I wonder if ESET Nod32 is the culprit? It doesnt show any activity in the log.

Ok for starters i tried this. I forwarded the 3 ports to 192.168.1.100 in both TCP and UDP. I set up the DVR IP as the DMZ host and configured the application to use my external IP, trying all three ports with no success. I found this in the event log: Sun Jan 19 17:18:53 2014 Error (4) DCC-ACK not received;CM-MAC=10:0d:7f:f9:3b:48;CMTS-MAC=00:23:eb:77:fa:ab;CM-QOS=1.1;CM-VER=3.0; _________________________________________________________________________________________ In the phone app under address, fill in that embedded 'My E-Video' that I see in your dvr. This is assuming for that embedded DNS, you have either created an account there or whatever the manual tells you to do to activate it and receive your custom address. For the port in the app, fill in 86, the mobile port of the dvr system. It is your custom 'My E-Video' address that will point the app to the mobile port, 86. If that can get you going, cool beans and simple enough. I tried this using the address provided and the port suggested with no luck. I actually never signed up for or activated anything and this was one of the features that didnt work from the beginning. I think it is a PC browser remote view function. You mention you have it working wi-fi. What address do you use when you are at another location other than home and hit the cameras via the internet? I cant actually view the cameras at all if i am not at home. For this i use my routers LAN IP, but for obvious reasons can only access them when i am at home, connected to my own wifi. I will now try what you have additionally set out. Thanks

Hello, Im new to the whole surveillance thing, even more so the networking side of it. I have just managed to install 8 analogue cameras at my residence, including a DVR connected to my router. It seems that i have given up on viewing these cameras over 3G, as i have spent a lot of time and effort setting it up with no luck. I have managed to get it working over WIFI and i think i am ready to give it another go. Now i know you all probably see this type of thread quite often, but no matter how much i read it doesnt seem to help. I was hoping someone could walk me through the setup, meanings of certain things and perhaps get this working. Now the system is just your average chinese unit, with it's own IP on my computer network. In the options, it shows several ports: Now my issue is i dont know which IP, or port to use for 3G. Also i dont know if these ports are correct, and if so, that they are not being blocked by my firewall. Any help is appreciated Jacob
