    From the IP you provided I'd guess that this is a big site with outsourced IT support. You're unlikely to be able to port forward from the outside world onto your DVR due to the design of the network and the security lockdowns in place. I'd suggest talking to your customer and determining who manages that router and going though the proper procedure.

    Worst case you get a ADSL line installed that is dedicated to the DVR.

    Exactly what I did!

    Not for me to "mess with"

    The site is small, but part of a large network so left well alone.

    IIRC theres a console port in the back of the unit (light blue lead rg45-9 din pin) 

     

    & also a web client software but (IIRC) the unit has to be enabled for web?

     

    However if its cisco you'll probably find somebodies paid to manage it

     

    ah!

     

    Yeah just tried surfing to it via IE/chrome (tried both), so that probably makes sense, especially as i couldnt reach any kind of page etc. 

     

    * christ just looked at that manual, **** that, my scope ends with netgear......

    So today I was going to port forward a dvr through said router. So IP config, default gateway of 20.1.1.254. Couldn't browse to to router. The dvr was rechable on lan, same gateway configured as laptop etc.

    So what was I missing here? (Other than someone who knew what he was doing?)

    Everyday is a learning day and all that :)

    Am I right in thinking that the AP requires a wired connection to the main router?, is this different to a repeater?, learning curve for moi, never really delved into it tbh.

     

     

    Thats how ive done mine, so either hw, or powerline adaptors.

     

    I'm no expert, but like messing about with stuff like this if i have a spare hour or so, like wise with reading up on things. It all helps........

    I run 3 routers, 2 with dhcp turned off and not using the wan port, all with same ssid and password and all with fixed but different channels. Oh and static ip addresses outside of the dhcp pool.

     

    Just set up me hh3 salve as above, connected via it now.

     

    Easy.

    I have a poor reception on the one end of my house, so going to either find a cheapy access point or see if i can find an old hh3 i have buried in the loft

     

    Having never set one up, whats the best way? If i say used a BT HH3, could i cone the SSID and wireless key, change the channel disable dhcp and seamlessly wander round? ........... Or is it best to keep the SSID separate?

     

    It a little project for tomorrow if i can dig one out

    Basically its ****, and gives a much higher resistance than standard copper cable. Measure the resistance on the runs, you'll be surprised (maybe)

     

    We tend to fire the video down a twisted pair (browns), then power down the two others. So thats the blues twisted together, and the oranges.
