Ok i am a total noob to this and have never hooked up a cctv system I have installed in my local PC a GeoVision 600 and 4 cameras. I loaded all the software that came on the disk. The cameras them selfs work great but I am having a heck of a time setting them up for remote viewing. Heres the equipment we are running: I have a total of 3 pcs at this office. Geovision 600 Card DSL Modem is a Zoom ADSL X5 (is a built in router with 4 ports) Linksys wrt54g (you guys seen not to like this one hehe) I have the #1 port on the ADSL X5 going to the "in" on the WRT54G, internet works fine. I assigned the pc with the dvr card in it a local static ip (192.168.1.11) I then unblocked the port 3550 and ten turned off windows firewall Next I went into the WRT54G and unchecked "Block Anonymous Internet Requests" After that I went into the "Applications & Gaming" settings on the WRT54G and did the following: 80 to 80 TCP 192.168.1.11 3550 to 3550 Both 192.168.1.11 5066 to 5066 Both 192.168.1.11 6886 to 6886 Both 192.168.1.11 9650 to 9650 Both 192.168.1.11 5610 to 5610 Both 192.168.1.11 And when i try to view 192.168.1.11 locally i get a dns not found page. When i try to view the ip from another network i get a dns not found page as well. I think it may be in the actual ADSL X5 modem. Their is a ton of config options in that thing if i go to 10.0.0.2 I have been working on this for 8 hours lol and still no better off then when i began. If anyone has any ideals I would be greatfull =) Thanks! Shane

ok got it with the linksys in teh picture. The geovision has a "automatic" setup for the router that i didn't see. So i click it and it shows the ip for the linksys as 10.0.0.6 instead of 192.168.1.1 why i dont know. So i went back into the dsl modem and set all the nat settings to 10.0.0.6 where we had the 192.168.1.1 and it works. *srugs* but it works thats all that i care Thanks again for the help Shane

ok pulled the linksys out the picture and today finally got it working with just the adsl modem. So will save the settings then try to hook up the linksys tomorrow so i can have my wireless back lol. Well a bit closer anyways. I dont think it should take 18+ hours to configure this haha. I so hate the Zoom X5!

ok thanks rory! Wife just called can i move in with you hehe. its 3am and i guess i better give it up for the night hehe. Will make sure i got the newest firmware tomorrow and we'll see what happens. All else fails I will change dsl modems. Will get one with wireless built into it. thanks again for the kind help Shane

Rule Flavor: Basic,Filter,NAPT,Bimap,RDR,Pass from/to/local ports: ECHO (7), DISCARD (9), CHARGEN (19), FTP (21), TELNET (23), SMTP (25), DNS (53), BOOTP (67), TFTP (69), HTTP (80), POP3 (110), SNMP (161) When i first started their was about 6 other rules that i deleted that were pre configured in that NAT section :/ maybe that was a bad ideal. I can look at my house dsl router (its the same) and put them back if needed. Regards; Shane

have it just like this but the last box where it has "local port" with discard 9 selected it will not let you put anything in that box when you choose that. so it was left blank. I still see the dsl router when i go to the ip Thanks Shane

that strange my menu does not have that option. you can see mine here: http://www.drunkenmule.com/menu.jpg I think that this the "v" version what ever the hell that was hehe Thanks Shane

btw i can see it locally by going to the 192.168.1.11 =) Shane

when i put my ip in the browser of a non local PC now i see the dsl router setup. I think?? i need to ender the information under "nat rules" heres what i got: Rule Flavor : RDR Rule ID: (will put next nuber in serires) If Name: all protocol: any Local Address From: NOT SURE Local Address To: NOT SURE Global Addres From: 0.0.0.0 Global Address to: 0.0.0.0 Destination Port From: NOT SURE Destination Port To: NOT SURE Local Port: NOT SURE Here is what i found via google for someone else doing this: 1. Launch the web console. 2. Click on Advanced Setup 3. Click on NAT 4. Set NAT options to NAT RULE entry 5. Click on ADD 6. Set the rule flavor to RDR 7. Set Rule ID to next available # (example if you have 4 ID's open then 5 would be next) 8. IF name: set to ALL 9. Protocol is the type of port (example TCP, UDP) 10. Type in the local address of the computer your accessing or range of computers you want that port open on. To and from should be the same address if assigning this to a single IP. 11. Leave both Global Address to and from set to all zeros. 12. Destination Port From: this is the port you need opened. Destination Port To: this is the port you need opened. Local Port: this is the port you need opened. 13. then click on Save changes 14. Write settings to flash. Closer....yes their no hehe thanks!

Closer! Rory i unblocked 4550,5550,6550 and i can now view the cameras on the network machines. Once leap foward! lol I still can't view it from a non local machine. I am muching the guys next door wireless and i cannot see it hehe. So i would say at this point its a firewall issue so i gotta dig a bit more Shane

thank you for the reply! The computer the dvr is installed on is a fresh install of Windows XP with SP 2. I have AVG running with withdows firewall off. I can get on any pc that is connected to the network and run: telnet 192.168.1.11 3550. When i do i get a blank screen with a flashing cursor. I can also ping 192.168.1.11 from any pc on the network. Gonna drive back to my office now hehe you guys dine gave me ideals Will let you know Shane

ok i messed with the bloody modem for 2 hours today already lol. Once it hits the router it is configured to go from 80 to the DVR. Oh what fun. Thanks for the advise! Will play with it a bit more! Shane
