J.B.

thanks everyone for all your help. i'll check the dhcp settings on the dvr and make sure it has a static ip and then see what happens. in the meantime, the model # is DMR8CD-4. its from supercircuits.

they have dsl from verizon, then it goes into a netzero router.

i am in the process of starting my own business and i look forward to learning a lot and creating some networking opportunities.

I have a lot of friends tat own businesses and homes and i decided that i would install some systems for them to see if i wanted to go into business for myself. well, i installed a system that i purchased from supercircuits. everything went fine until i got to the dvr. i had no idea it took so much to set up remote viewable systems. i was thinking along the lines of "plug into dvr+plug into router= remote viewing". WRONG. please help. i'm having difficulty forwarding the port on the dvr and trying to figure out which ip address is the right one. its an 8 channel dvr.
