See bottom of this page if link is dead, or if you wish to see screen shots.

If you can get to your AnyWhere & AnytimeScreen back you cannot connect to the DVR then try this:

IF you cannot connect using the browswer then go to tools>internet options>and delete temp internet files.

Bring up a new browwer and connect to your DVR, and this will give you the active X prompt. Run this active X, and you should see your DVR on the Browser. There are some models that this will not work with. The certificate was valid at one time, and it may have expired. You cannot connect without the active X. When the active X comes up with the expired certificate you will get a warning. This is ok allow it to run anyways.

If you are highly aware of the menus of your router then it is easy.

You need to open the ports of your DVR (default could be 80) on the router.

If you do not know anything about networking, or about the Linksys router then here are some screen shots. This is a random google search link that I found some time ago, and I am not affiliated with the site.

Set your wireless portion with WEP or higher.

WEP only requires a 10 digit code. Do not use your telephone number as it is 10 digits it is known by drive by people who need an internet connection they can find you in the phone book if they can see your wireless connection, and punch in your phone number and use your internet connection. 90% are salespeople trying to connect to send reports back to the office, and the others are kids who cannot afford an internet connection. It could be that a porno creep could use your connection to download porno, or worse kiddie porn. It is not that you want to block people. It is that they do not have the right to hog your bandwith!

For those of you who would like more info then here you go:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys

Once you have the router setup then you will have to decide do you have a static IP, or a dynamic IP. You will automatically have a DHCP, or dynamic IP. You can pay extra for a static IP. In a residential environment they will bump you up to a "business class", or "commercial account" or what ever they call it. If you have a business then you may allready have a static IP and all you have to do is ask what the info is

Static IP
gateway
subnet mask
and dns (they may give you two dns numbers)

If you have a static ip then you will use this IP address to see your DVR. Your DVR will have the 192.168.0.10 (note ATT users it may have to be a 192.168.1.10) You will use the static IP to get to your DVR.

If you have DHCP then your address is going to change from time to time at random and at this point when it changes you will no longer be able to see you DVR. Here is the work around go to www.dyndns.com (or there are others to choose from) and set up an account. The first one is free, and more will cost you.

You will use "yourdvr@dyndns.com" as your DVR IP address. Note that you will have to select a drop down box to choose @dyndns.com as there are funny ones to choose from like yourdvr@noneofyourbusiness.com.

Now you connect with "yourdvr@dyndns.com" this will reroute you back to your DVR, and they will keep track of your changing IP address. This is the only time a computer is required to be on site with a DVR. If you do not want a computer on site with a DVR such as covert ops then you will need a static IP, or a EDVO router.

If you want to know what your IP address then use this, and it will show you.

www.ipchicken.com This will show you your IP address, and you can use this to test your DVR connection until you get a dyndns account.

NOTE: You cannot check your outside connection from your computer. You have to have someone else come in to check it. Installers have to bring a cellular connect internet laptop, or they have to call back to the office, and have them connect in to check it.

When using a browser some DVRs work with the "yourdvr@dyndns.com" and others will require you to put in the address bar "yourdver@dyndns.com:80.

NOTE:  You may find it easier to connect with the Video Server E rather than the Browser with some models of AVTech DVRs.

If you have DSL service from your Telephone Company then you will have devices that look like this.

 

http://www.hometech.com/techwire/dsl.html

 

This is installed on to your phone line, and then your telephone is plugged in to the device.  This is a DSL blocker.  This allows your phone to work on a DSL line.  You can plug your computer, or your router in to any telephone port, and you should have a DSL signal!

 

This is also installed on the phone line to your alarm system.

If you have recently switched to DSL, or Broadband internet service, you may need to call your alarm company to verify that your alarm is still able to dial out in case of an emergencey.
