I can not see my WAN IP as it is set to Auto - I have attached a snap shot.

Good Morning Varascope and Numb-nuts, Yesterday i contacted my service provider in Zambia and discussed the issues I am facing whilst trying to log into the DVR from outside my wireless network. He advised me to get a fixed APN, as the current system I am using is through a cell phone chip via 3G and is not fixed. He wouldn't go into further details, as he could see I'm not a fundi on these systems but advised me that I should get a fixed/constant APN using a different 'product' from them. This product would see us get a constant/set APN but depending the on the size of my wallet would range from speeds of 125kps - 8 gig (if that makes sense). He explained that on my current system (cell phone chip 3G) we are charged on bundles and not speed but if I want a set APN then they would calculate our package on speed and not bundle size. To have a set APN will cost us significantly more than our current package. Varascope to answer your question - my DVR IP is 192.168.0.110 and laptop 192.168.0.103 (within our LAN) When inside my LAN (ipchicken.com) my IP varies from 41.223.119.17 to 41.223.119.29 (this is what I’ve noticed from the few days of testing and trying to figure what the issue is) and outside this morning it is telling me that the IP is 41.223.119.30 - is the number 41.223.119.30 my WAN/public IP? Numb-nut to answer your question - I raised the issue of using a DNS to access my DVR from anywhere outside my LAN. He indicated that this would not work as my WAN or Public IP would always change. Is this true? Forgive me if I am boring you with trivial questions but i would like to get a good understanding of what I’m trying to achieve - so that my service provider doesn't try to pull a quick one on me! Is there no way around me having to change to a set APN, either by DNS or another route? As what my service provider is proposing will cost me nearly 6 times what i am paying and that's for the slow connection speed. a Regards DK

Good Afternoon, Please could I get some guidance on viewing my CCTV feed from outside my wireless network. Apologies if this is a duplicate but I couldn't find anything in the search field that looked promising to me. I have a Sunluxy H.264 DVR unit using the following ports; Http port - 80 Client port - 8880 When I log into my DVR unit (with my laptop) via it's IP address, within my wireless network, I am able to see the feed from the cameras. However when I try and log into the DVR from outside the wireless network, say via a tethered wireless network using 3G, the page never loads - it loads the login page but when I enter my details it doesn't go further. Same applies if i try to log in using my cell phone via 3G, using the APP "Eseenet+", it says server unavailable but works if done through the wireless network. So i tried to see if the port was open, so i went to canyouseeme.com and it came back to me saying that my IP address was 42.223.119.17 which it is not and that ports 80 and 8880 were not open. I have tried changing my ports on the DVR unit and Wireless router but I have not been able to connect. Secondly why would that website tell me my IP is one number when it's another? Please could someone help me through this mess. Regards DK
