Thanks again Mike. Just a bit irritated with Daryl733. I came across this website and it said "got questions, We got answers" Than I get a rant by this clown, who wouldnt be pissed? I have done all the port forwarding, and enabled the dvr's ip in DMZ. The problem i am now faced with is obtaining a static ip from my internet dsl provider. The insructions say a static ip is "reccomended" is there another way I can set it up with a dynamic ip? Thanks all
