Hi all, I've been reading through several threads on the forum to get an idea of how to set up two cameras to be viewed through http://Dyndns.org. Here's my particular situation:
Here's where I'm a little unsure of what to do next:
Here's the other aspect that I'm not sure of. A lot of people have mentioned that their port is 8080, 8081, etc for their dyndns domain, but I didn't see an area when setting up to specify that particular port. It the port number something you include in the dyndns domain that you originally registered for? (i.e. (submittedname).dyndns.org(specify port here)? If that's the case, and I don't have port forwarding enabled on my router... I'm assuming I need to assign the listening port directly on my camera (under Network Setup -> Port Settings). In other words, Camera #1 would be assigned port 8080 for a http://dyndns.org address of (nameserver).dyndns.org:8080, and Camera #2 would be assigned port 8081 for a http://dyndns.org address of (nameserver).dyndns.org:8081... and all should be well. Let me know if the above assumptions are right, and if you can answer any of the questions above. :) Much appreciated in advance! Yours, Spider |

If your router does not support port forwarding then you need to replace your router with one that does. Once you've solved that problem, this guide should help you. In particular you'd configure your update client with (probably): Server Address: The ports are those you chose when you complete your port forwarding. |

Well it looks like I can answer my own questions above after a little bit of experimenting. :) Essentially...
Also, since most ISP's seem to block port 80, I went ahead and used port 8080,8081 for both cameras, and things are great. This also works if you have the ability to put the camera into a DMZ zone outside of the firewall (though it's a little risky, it helped initially with verifying my setup before hardening it up behind the firewall). Hope that helps some other soul who was experiencing the same problems I was!
