kwikshop 0 Posted February 14, 2010 I bought 8-channel dvr off ebay and it uses program called netviewer to watch online. I am able to watch it on LAN with my internal ip 192.168.x.x but when i try to put the external ip then it goes to verizon login screen. I have verizon internet...and when i go to the external ip it goes to the verizon login screen. Please someone let me know which steps do i have to do. My internet has dynamic ip address. My dvr supports DDNS. But my ISP blocks port 80. I am using westell 7500 modem with built in router. Your help would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrar 0 Posted February 14, 2010 A couple of questions. What type/model DVR did you get? Does it have the manual? Is there a PC hooked up to the router, also? You'll need to find out what ports your DVR needs for Internet access and then forward those ports thru your router to the DVR (http port 80, at least). If your ISP blocks port 80, you'll have to change the http port in the DVR to something other than 80, i.e 81 or something above 1024 for security purposes. Portforward.com will give you excellent instructions on forwarding your ports. Depending on the model DVR, they may have a free DDNS service they offer. All you have to do is register it. It probably supports DYNDNS also. If so, you can set up a free account with them and enter the appropriate info in your DVR's networking section. One note with the DYNDNS service: if the device's updater program isn't up to their standards and it constantly checks for updates, they will block your DYNDNS account for abuse. Some routers and DVR's have a terrible update program that runs constantly. If you have a PC on this network, you can download DYNDNS's updater program to that and it will manage the dynamic IP for all devices on the network. Hope this helps.

scorpion 0 Posted February 15, 2010 It sounds like you pick a port number that is the same as what your router uses. Instead of going to your DVR you are logging in to your router. Change the port number on your DVR. Does this correct the issue? Have you gone here to verify your WAN address? www.ipchicken.com? What do you think?
