lucky19 0 Posted June 5, 2012 So I've been stuck trying to configure this for 3 mths now. I have set my computer to a static ip address. I go in to my router settings and froward the ports 9091 & 9092 to the static address. But when I use a port froward checker online is says the ports are closed to that static addy but open on the external ip addy. Is this correct???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jxk716 0 Posted June 5, 2012 You set your PC to a static IP but is your internet static or dynamic? Are you trying to view the cameras remotely over the internet or just over the LAN? If wanting to see them over the internet and have a dynamic ip you need to set up a dynamic (DDNS) address which has been well covered on this forum. After you get a DDNS tell the router to communicate with the service or download their update client (if available). Sounds like you have the port forward configured correctly.

groovyman 0 Posted June 5, 2012 Is it a windows based pc? Did you open the ports in the windows firewall or third party firewall/internet security program (if one is installed)? I can forward all the ports I want to a pc based DVR, but the ports also need to be open on the pc itself. If they're not then the communication will be blocked at the pc.

I will need to see if my firewall is blocking my ports or not. thks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
