i can be back at work in about 20 mins....how long you about for?

Right... Confused!!! In that case the wan IP address will be 192.168.2.64 that is the address i managed to see the DVR on through IE in work Does this make a difference?

Well, in not at work now, but i think it is 79.71.156.163 as shown in my Dyndns account as well.

Just to add.... I just tried pinging the DynDns account i set up... phoenixcctv.isa-geekDOTnet it found the address because it came up with the correct ip address 79.71.156.163 but it timed out...... Any clues???

Getting a little frustrated now.... I can access the DVR via the client software and ie from within my work LAN although in ie i used 192.168.2.64 an ip which i found in the router. I definatly cannot ping my work router from home.. I assume i should be able to?? and can i assume that the ip addy that ipchicken gave is the one i should be able to ping?

ok, the questions are.. Q1. What is the problem you're having? A. I cant remote access the DVR Q2. What Internet connection type are you using? A. ADSL modem and Belking router as above. currently on a dynamic IP, should change to static on thursday Q3. Is the public IP address set in the router? A. The public ip address (from ipchicken) is 79.71.156.163 Q4. Are you able to connect to the DVR locally through the client and IE? A. Yes i am to both. I am now at home, I cant even ping my work address!! When i type in the address bar i put: with the H T T P & : & / & /in front 79.71.156.163:3333 IS THIS CORRECT???? Thanks for your help Desperate!

CANT GET THE LINK TO POST... google RAYSHARP D6009 it comes up on a website called reliabledvr The current setting i have in the dvr are.. ip add 192.168.2.45 subnet 255.255.255.0 gateway 192.168.2.1 dns1 149.0.0.0 dns2 0.0.0.0 port 3333 I am using a belkin router. model number F5D7230-4 i have tried putting the 192.168.2.45 IP IN THE dmz firewall is open to 3333 I am waiting for a static ip from my isp,(thursday) but my current dynamic ip has not changed in several weeks so i am cheating at telling it i have a static ip at the moment. could that be the problem due to subnet being different? I am going away on holiday soon and really need to get this up and running urgently. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi all... new to this so please be patient,,,, Just setting up my DVR for remote monitoring, its an unknown brand i guess... RAYSTAR. In the DVR i have set up the static ip address and subnet but i am not sure what port to set it up on. the default is set to 80. The DVR comes with its own viewer, which will be fine if i am viewing on my laptop, but i also wish to view it from anywhere without the software but using Internet explorer. Is this possible? I think i understand the basics of what port forwarding is and how it works but i cant quite figure out what port to use, so here are my questions... 1. Do i have to use port 80 if i want to view using IE 2. How do i view using IE? i know about entering the ip:port in address bar, but what will that bring up?
