srhenson 0 Posted March 7, 2010 Hi everybody, I am a newbie, both here and at networking. I recently purchased a Samsung SMT-190DN dvr unit. I set the camera up with no problems. I am having problems setting up the network side. I need to be able to view it from the internet, if not I need to take it back and get my money back..... I have a DSL from Westell, and a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. I have tried everything I know to try. My IP on the router is 10.10.10.1, Subnet is 255.255.255.0 and the Gateway is 10.10.10.1. I have setup my port forwarding. I am not sure where to go now. I search here on the forum and ran up on a simular post, and it said that I needed to set my DVR unit to static. My router is currently set to DHCP. I would greatly appriciate any advice or help....... Thanks for any help..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zylcho 0 Posted July 26, 2010 Static will only work if you have a static IP from the ISP. If not DHCP will work fine. As per the online manual.... http://www.samsungcctvusa.com/files/upload/%5BManual%5D%20SMT-190DN.pdf Login to router... Click the “Application and Gaming” tab. Click “Port Range Forward”. Port forwarding Row #1 Application : Set this to “HTTP” Start and End : Set both to “From 1024 to 65535 Protocol : Select “TCP” IP Address : SETUP MENU -> 5-9) NETWORK SETUP -> Check IP from network status to apply it identically to Private IP after DHCP setup.(Eng- Setup) It is not in use by any other device connected to the IP Router including the Local PC. Enable : Leave this “checked” Click “Save Settings” Close browser window. This is a great little setup they have going but is buggy communicating online. I have tried to get support from Samsung on this and NEVER received a single response on how to resolve the gateway problems I am encountering. But if you only have the WRT54G with above setup you will be good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harrar 0 Posted July 26, 2010 I search here on the forum and ran up on a simular post, and it said that I needed to set my DVR unit to static. My router is currently set to DHCP. I would greatly appriciate any advice or help....... Thanks for any help..... The static IP referred to is your DVR's LAN IP address. Linksys router's DHCP server, by default, starts issuing IP addresses starting from 100 (check your router's setup page). What you want to do is set your DVR's LAN IP to something in the range of 2 to 99 outside of the DHCP's address range. This way if power is lost or devices are added or removed, your DVR will always have the address of say 10.10.10.50. As you stated, your DVR's default Gateway and DNS Server should be set to your router's address (10.10.10.1). Personally, I would highly recommend not forwarding all the ports (1024 thru 65535) as mentioned in the previous post. Just asking for trouble. Check your manual for what specific ports your system uses and forward the port(s) in the Application and Gaming tab of your router to your DVR's IP address set above. Next question. Do you have a static WAN IP address from your ISP? If so, you just have to type in your IP address from any location and you're good to go UNLESS, your DVR's http port is something other than 80. Then you'll have to type in http://XXX.XX.XXX.XXX:(http port number). If your WAN address is a dynamic, then you'll need some type of DNS client running on your DVR or your router to keep the changing address updated to your DVR. The Linksys has a DDNS client for Dyndns that you can setup (free) and your DVR probably has one also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
