Help with remote viewing using Qwest GT 701 WG Actiontec

[robkey69 0]

Hi, I'm rather new at this but I have my CCTV camera system working well and I can connect using my viewing software on the LAN and even wireless that runs through my Qwest GT 701 WG modem. The problem I'm having is port forwarding it so I can view it over the internet anywhere. I set the port forwarding to 80 and did the cmd...ipconfig and entered those into my DVR networking menu.

But I still can't get a remote picture to work.

 

The viewing software is from China I think like D 6 Viewer is the name with no website for support...

 

 

Help please

 

Thank you

I have an Actiontec router (Verizon FIOS) and had the same problem 2 years ago. I had to do an extra tweak to the instructions that rory and Collin wrote that are posted on this site. I saved my instructions in the hope someone else could benefit from them.

 

Below are my full instructions, I hope they help as I'd like to get the opportunity to return the goodwill/help someone here because so many here have helped me.
