Here is my situation. I have 2 security camera DVRs on my LAN. They both use port 80 out of the box for incoming connections. I have created 2 hostnames (ex. http://XXXXXX.xyxyxy.org and http://XXXXXX2.xyxyxy.org, xyxyxy obviously not the real domains) and they are associated with the fixed LAN IP address of their respective devices. I have set one of the DVRs to use port 81. I can access both DVRs locally by using their fixed IP address but I have to add the port 81 to the IP address for the DVR that is assigned port 81. I have set port forwarding on the router for each DVR and it seems to work fine individually for web connections but when I do port forwarding for both DVRs, my two host names resolve to the same DVR. I can change things around a bit in the router and they will resolve to the other DVR. All the while, I can still connect to both from within the LAN. It seems to me that I need some way to add the specific port number to the dyndns hostnames, or at least to the DVR that is redirected to port 81. Is there a way to do this, perhaps with wildcards? I'll gladly sign up for Pro if it will provide a workable solution. Thanks. |

"I like the forwarding idea in the link above but the port forwarding setup on my D-Link DI-634M router isn't terribly clear to me and I'm not sure how to implement the individual port forwarding method. I guess that I'll just be happy with WebHop." WebHop is a replacement for port forwarding on the router in no way and unrelated. If you don't have port forwarding enabled on the router, you would not be able to reach your server from outside at all. But as you say it works, you have for sure port forwarding configured on the router, even if you don't know. Also, don't respond with a comment, as notification is not reliable for comments. Either edit your original question or add another answer. |

Please review this question. In short you can only forward any port to a single host, so you'll need to forward a different port to each device. Optionally you can use WebHop to hide the fact that one is on a different port. Thanks, after posting this I got into the WebHop option and made that work. I like the forwarding idea in the link above but the port forwarding setup on my D-Link DI-634M router isn't terribly clear to me and I'm not sure how to implement the individual port forwarding method.
