hey people i have a DVR which has its own ip address i want to be able to access this from out side the network.

but my ip changes i dont have a static ip.

any ideas how i can get access to it.

regards

tim

Depends on the model, but we dont use static ip's at work, and I can access ours. From any pc with the software on it.

As they say, read the manual?

That will help.

Basically, you setup an account .. Install a client util on your PC .. It will detect any WAN IP changes, send those changes up to DynDNS, where you have an address like http://wrx.gotdns.org/

The client will always make sure that URL resolves to your current WAN IP Address.

Simple? Yes!

Open port 80 up on your Router to the Interal IP of your DVR.

Or you could save yourself the pain/frustration and ask your ISP for a Static IP.

+1 for DynDNS.... the trick is to make sure it updates the account with the new ip every time your router reconnects. You can either do this with some desktop software or if you have a Netgear DSL router it'll do it for you.

DynDNS FTW

or i know with westnet, that if you log into your account, it shows your current IP Address

Westnet, Amnet, iinet and most ISP's when you log into your account it will let you know your current IP ADDRESS that your connected to.

whats my ip will tell u too.

Yeah .. thats the how the DNSUpdater client works, but you don't actually see it do any of that.
