The DVR is connected, via cable, to the router. I can access the router admin via a browser. I tried setting up port forwarding but there was a setting conflict. I couldn't see any relevant service name so I created one - 'CCTV' And set these settings: Service name | Start port | end port |IP address CCTV | 8080 | 8080 | 10.xxx.xx.x These settings I retrieved from the WinXP and Mac system settings and then set these on the DVR to match. I'm thinking maybe this first hurdle is where I fell.

My kit: AVTech DVR (the 4ch one with networking) iMac OSX running Parallels (WinXP) Netgear Router (WGR614v4) the 54mps one Video Server E (on WinXP) Camera into DVR - recording = Fine DVR into TV/ Monitor - viewing = Fine Connecting to either Mac or WinXP = No luck. I have been trying this for months but nothing works whatsoever. I have read possibly every which way to attempt this, but no luck. I have even purchased a new cable thinking maybe that was the problem - No luck. Has anybody got a frikkin clue how to: Connect the DVR to the computer (via WinXP is fine) so that I can view the stream online and/or simply back-up on the computer. If you can help me, in plain English, I will be eternally grateful. Thanks in advance.
