photys 0 Posted September 27, 2007 (edited) Router (refered too by other computers as the gateway) 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0 Computer 192.168.0.2 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 (in gateway) EB1304net 192.168.0.3 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1 (in gateway) SETTING UP THE EB1304NET: Grab the EB1304's remote, go to menu - network settings. Choose a port (Video port). 1304 is nice and easy to remember Then hit the right arrow once at "IP Mode" and choose "Static" Press the right arrow again to fill in the IP address. Locally you would connect to it by typing http://192.168.0.3:1304 PORT FORWARDING: To get at it from the internet, you need to tell the router where to send the request for video. So check the online help for the router and look for "Port forward" or "NAT" . Sometimes found in the Security section. There you tell it to forward any info for the DVR to port 1304 It will ask for: Protocol - TCP Port range - 1304 An IP to send the data to - 192.168.0.3 Thes instructions might help http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/BTHomeHub/Echolink.htm STATIC IP: If you have a static IP then you would connect to your EB1304net by typing http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1304 (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) being your static ip DYNAMIC IP: If you have a dynamic IP the go to http://www.no-ip.com/ Create a free username and pass. Create a name for your DVR ie http://my1304.no.ip.com Download their DUC app and run it at startup on your copmuter. This will allow you to connect to the DVR without knowing your ever changing IP. Simply type http://my1304.no.ip.com:1304 in internet explorer. DNS QUESTION: Regarding the DNS question, im not 100% sure. Im dynamic IP so I disregarded it. It only allows numbers and not a DNS name If your dynamic, you could fill in the gateway IP. Then in the router (gateway) you would fill in your my1304.no.ip.com in the Dynamic DNS area. Give it a bash, its by no means easy but it is satisfying knowing you nailed it. Edited September 27, 2007 by Guest Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
photys 0 Posted September 27, 2007 mmmm. After looking at the online help for your router, you might struggle with its pissy user interface. They port forward to a device name, not an IP. If the EB1304net shows up as a device, then its easy, If not, struggle with the interface till you can find a way to type in its IP. Then look smugly at the camera and send us a pic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You can fill the DNS setting in your router so when its going online to communicate with the DynDNS site that you have assign. I think you can change the port on the DVR at least of the most that i have install they do. You have to port forward the specific port of the DVR that you have assign into your router. BTW you have static or dynamic IP? Its easier with Static ip because you dont need to assign DNS, you just port forward the ip of your DVR for example... IF your router has internal IP 192.168.1.1 then your DVR must go something like 192.168.1.x ( where x a number of your choice but be careful to be in the IP POOL of your router). then you need to port forward the PORT that you have input to your DVR and finally to fill the DNS on your rourer..... if your router does not have DNS setting you can fill those in your DVR. I think that help you a bit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
