ROUTER - DVR BOX ADDRESS

[bobw 0]

THE ROUTER PERIODICALLY DROPS OUT AND WHEN IT'S REBOOTED, IT ASSIGNS A DIFFERENT ADDRESS TO THE DVR BOX.

E.G. 192.168.0.3 INSTEAD OF .2

I THEN HAVE TO GO ALL THE WAY TO WORK TO PORT FORWARD THE NEW ADDRESS IN ORDER TO GET IT TO WORK ON THE NET AGAIN.

ONLY THE DVR BOX IS CONNECTED TO THE ROUTER BY THE WAY.

IS THERE A WAY ROUND THIS?

Go into network settings for the dvr and assign it a static IP address.

 

Then forward the ports for that address.

 

 

Start

Control Panel

Network Connection

Right Click Local area connection and select properties

Double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Select Use the Following IP address

Input the IP address you want to use

Subnet would be 255.255.255.0

Gateway will be the routers IP address

Select use the following DNS Server address

Input the same IP address as the gateway for the Preffered DNS Server

No need for Alternate DNS Server

just PM Me and I'll give you the specifics.

assign static IP to the DVR

 

just make sure it is not the same address that router may use

 

maybe assign something like

192.168.1.99

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Assigned a static address and is OK now.

Tiscali (crap) have lowered the speed on the line now and the drop outs have ceased as well . . . .
