For a long time I have just read what other had to say and I have learned a great deal and solve some problem along the way. having said that here is a problem I having. I am a big fan of stand along dvr's and don't care that much for the PC base cards. I purchased a NV5000 to use on a job, but cannot get the remote viewing part to work. here is some info on what I have done so far.
There is a linksys wrt54-g router at the site, went the linksys router site and went into app/gaming forward port 80 made sure the pc i was using ip address show up and enable it also put in 5555 for romote control click save setting at the bottom of page.
went into windows firewall went to exceptions and added port 80.
There is a static address at the job, made sure the router had that setup right. Check with telco to make sure there were no problems on their end.
Purchased a domain name and pointed that the static address.
using a verizon air data card with a remote laptop I go to the address bar and type in the ip address it come back cannot find that document, type in the domain name and get a IE cannot display this page ( name not type right, problem with site and so on).
I cannot get Avermedia US tech support to pick up the phone and they won't reply to email or return voice mail to three calls so far today.
The pc is a Compaq Evo D510CMT
CPU : Intel P 4a 2.8 mhz 5.25x533
Chipset: Brookdale-G i845G
Ram: 1.2 gig of ddr sdram

What am I doing wrong?
