scorpion 0 Posted February 5, 2009 With the second DVR are you using the WAN IP address in the same buidling where the DVR is located, or are you going somewhere else, and trying to remote in? Where the second DVR is located go to a computer, and type in http://ipchicken.com/ Go to a remote site, and try to log in to your DVR with the number that IP chicken gave you with the browser. If you can log in to your DVR through the browser then you should see the Any Where Any Time Page. This means that everything is OK with your router, and we may have to look at the DYNDNS account. If you cannot remote in with the IP chicken then this will verify your router is the problem. You may have to hard reset your router for more then 30 seconds, and start all over setting up the router menus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

scorpion 0 Posted February 5, 2009 thanks scorpion, I have just come to work and tried the host and port number and it works fine. this is from outside of the network, but why cannot see it using this host on home web (wan) browser? I am assuming that the host is for your home DVR. I understand why you can see the home DVR using the host number at work. You should not be able to use your home DVR Wan address while you are at home. I can obiously see it locally on the LAN. you see my work DVR i can see both in LAN and WAN You should not be able to use a WAN IP address at the same location as the DVR that you are logging in to. I do not know why you can use a WAN IP address at work to see the DVR that is located there. By chance do they have two modems? I could see where the DVR is on one modem, and you are logging in on it from another modem. This is common around here with some of the cabarets. The DJ booth is on one modem from one provider, and the office computers, and the merchant services are on another modem from another provider. This also gives them back up in case the merchant services internet goes down. Do you have two host names? One for the home DVR, and another one for your work DVR?

scorpion 0 Posted February 6, 2009 I was curious why it is important while you are at home to use your host IP address to view your home DVR? I am not an networking expert, and I have no answer for your question. It is common not to be able to use a WAN address to view through your brower when the DVR is connected to the same router with the computer that you using.
