Computer help remote access

[rj scotty]

Ok, I have a pc set up as a cctv recorder I my loft, I access this using remote desk top and all is well.



I have decided to take this a stage further and set up remote desk top over IP I have followed the guide bellow to the letter and I think I have set up my router for the required port forwarding.

I have also used no-ip for an address instead of using the IP address.

http://www.no-ip.com/

When it works the address should be http://cctv17810.no-IP.biz

ip address of router at present : 78.150.121.252

ip address of cctv: 192.168.1.5

ports that need to be forwarded 3389 and 17810

router is a dlink dsl-G604 T

I am totally new the this field and really need some

cheers

PS I enter http://cctv17810.no-IP.biz into by browser I get my router log in screen

Have you entered the ports 3389 and 17810 into the router? Maybe this will be of help to you if you haven'y already done this step.

I think so the router has: port start, port end and port route ?

So i tried all combinations of 3389 and 17810 ?

Can you ping both adresses 192.168.1.5 and 192.168.1.5? You list 192.168.1.5 as the IP CCTV, isn't this the address of the router? What is the make and model og you camera?

Does your firewall settings have these particular ports open or closed?

[rj scotty]

router adress is 198.168.1.1 fire wall open

198.168.1.5. is cctv according to the software in The router and its set for dynamic.

[Nuvo]

Have you set up a static IP address for your computer? This is essential for port forwarding. See here for a how-to guide.


I noticed you edited the model name of your router in your original post.
Try this guide for further help.

followed this still, bringing me to my router log in screen

http://cctv17810.no-ip.biz

[rj scotty]

what do you get when you hit that link ?

[Nuvo]

what do you get when you hit that link ?

Zip. (unavailable URL)

[rj scotty]

So it sends me to my modem login within my network

Could this be an ISP issue ?

cheers

Maybe your router is doing it job (blocking unwanted traffic).

[rj scotty]

So this is looking like a router issue ?

[Jamo]

Sounds to me like this no-ip thing has not bound to the I.P address of the cctv

Have you blocked ping? go into cmd and do ping -a cctv17810.no-ip.biz

[Nuvo]

I would have thought so yes, I'm not sure what else to suggest.

I'm seeing timeouts with both ping and tracert to the IP address and your assigned domain name.

PS there's somebody at your front door. Perhaps he might know whats wrong?
