    VPN SETUP

    I contacted my service provider several more times and came across a tech that said modem bridging could only be done at the main office not at tech level support. He transferred my request to them and I’m waiting for a call. Hopefully that solves a few problems.

    VPN SETUP

    Looney2ns the model is M505N the only modem they supply. My provider stated they have disable some of the functions of the routers when installed. They charge a fee of $5.00 per month for a static IP address if that is an issue here. I’d just like to know if this is possible to do before...

    VPN SETUP

    Catcamstar thanks for the advice. I somewhat understand what you’d saying, not having my provider modem/router being able to be used as a pass thru; that’s about it. The rest I have no clue what your talking about. More researched needed I guess.

    Southern Yankee my Asus is connected to the internet via the dsl modem. Cable from dsl modem to Asus modem. I have the Asus set in wireless router mode. According to my provider the visionnet modem/router can’t be set as pass thru, bridge, etc and the wireless can’t be disabled. I can set up a...

    VPN SETUP

    ***This post started out as VPN VENTURE it is NOT. It turned into a post about setting IP addresses when two routers are involved. With the help of several learned members especially CATCAMSTAR I can now work on the VPN. Nothing to learn about a VPN in this post. In the process of setting up...

    BI mobile app Setup?

    I found there was a problem with my network card and it was fixed when I ran the troubleshoot problems. The cameras are now working. It shows Ethernet connection BUT with an internet access type connection. The WiFi is still disabled. Is this appropriated?

    BI mobile app Setup?

    WiFi disabled cameras still disabled. When you said run cable from switch to computer you meant from Poe switch correct?

    BI mobile app Setup?

    In my network information and set up connections it shows what appears to be two networks. One wireless, labeled private network, access type internet, wi-fi. The second is Ethernet, no network access, public network, unidentifiable network.

    BI mobile app Setup?

    Thanks that’s easy to fix. I’ll see what happens when I connect the two. Everything is running so nicely I was afraid to experiment changing cables. But from what you say that doesn’t solve my present problem and I have not had issues in recording of any kind other than not enough storage space...

    BI mobile app Setup?

    By hard wired it’s hard wired from Poe switch to modem/router. Nothing is hard wired to the PC. Problem setup I assume?

    BI mobile app Setup?

    Well I really don’t know. I just assumed they are. I have two Pc’s, 2 iPads, two iPhones and a printer hooked up wireless. Everything works as it should. I do have a 5ghz/2.4ghz router that the devices can switch Back and forth from. My BI PC is set at 2.4hgz as are my mobile devices.

    BI mobile app Setup?

    Fenderman I am able to open my web server in my browser by typing in the local lan access, not on any wireless devices though. Not sure what that accomplishes as I’m try to set up remote access via iPhone and pad. I’m a bit out of my realm as you can guess and not sure how to proceed. I did...

    BI mobile app Setup?

    Thanks Fenderman for your response. Here is a response from Ken about the BlueMaple: I had to re-add the Server line so that Blue Iris could identify itself! Some users had problems connecting "Blue Iris to Blue Iris" because of this. BlueMaple is just a (somewhat) randomly made-up name...

    BI mobile app Setup?

    I’m in the process of setting up my mobile app on my IPhone and Ipad but have run into some issues. looney2ns advice: Get it working on your own home network first. Then work on getting VPN setup. All you should need to do on your own network, is enter the correct IP address for your BI server...

    Thanks gwminor48 I haven’t posted anything yet still working at it myself but I think it’s time to give up. BI looks to be a port forwarding setup which is not a good idea according to members here. A few more tries and I’ll post in the BI section. Thanks for the replying and welcome.
