Unable to access dvr using host name.

If you have a static IP you don't need an update client, just set the IP to that static IP and purchase the Dynamic DNS Pro service. If you do decide to run an update client you must only run one, running more than one may cause your account to be suspended for abusive updates.

At this point all I can tell you is that port 80 on the IP your hostname resolves to (173.9.142.93) is showing as refused, suggesting that either you or your ISP blocks that port. If you're using another port can you tell us what it is so we can check it ourselves?

Oh, and are you remembering to test remotely? Testing from inside the network often produces false results.

I can access using the hostname but still need to use the port number. How can I work around not requiring adding the port to the hostname?

You'll be wanting a WebHop, the documentation linked from the service page should walk you through all you need to do, but if you run into problems edit your question again and provide details of the problems.

Thanks for your direction. I was testing via air card and disabled the routers dnydns profile, plus created a webhop hostname. All is working as planned

Good to hear, to close this question off can you tick the answer that helped you the most please.
