Re: [Home Network] Trying to set up a web camera o
Hmmm, well I do recall looking at the status, and the ip address was 192.168.48 or something like that, it wasn't your typical 65-68.x.x.x, its set on "Automatic - DHCP" (I don't know if it should be set on pppoe, but internet for all the computers work). This camera is at a friends house that i'm setting up, so i'm not familiar with DSL. |

Sounds like you are double nat'ing where you have both the linky and the westel doing DHCP with the westell assigning the wan side ip of the linky and then the linky assigning the ip's of the machines.

Wayne I would agree as most people do not understand what they have and what they are actually doing by adding a Linksys ( or another type router ) behind a Westell, The on top of all that people go and buy Norton Int Sec or some other software firewall and wonder why they have surfing/speed issues.
I have a XP system setup with an internal quadraplex 8 port PCI card used to view 4 day/night cameras which all of it I bought off Ebay for hardly nothing. I have a 2wire with my XP ICF disabled. I can view my cams inside my network just fine and as long as I have my correct port forwarded to the correct DHCP IP on my sustem and the viewing software set up with the same port I can then view my cams from anywhere. I used to have a SIP but no longer do as I downgraded my service for money saving reasons but have a domain registered through NO-IP that I use now with no probs. It really isnt that hard getting everything to work but you really need to know what all you have and how you need to set eveything up. I know that is why that person is here but we really will need a complete listing of all equipment or maybe the best thing to do is have that person call thier ISP with a conference call to the camera system techs. |
