Ok I changed the router 'forward to' to the
Blue Iris LAN IP address that starts with 169.xxx, still doesn't connect with the change.
There are four choice there from a pull down menu, the 169.xxx is the last one.
Not sure how it was chosen, it was just what was on the screen.
The other 3 are 169,xxx, 172.xxx, and 192.xxx.
I have no control over those numbers, they are fixed and you have to choose one from the pull down menu.
My IP address starts with 75.xxx, I am using a CradlePoint CTR35 router with a Verizon Wireless Card plugged into it, IP range for wireless:
NetRange: 75.192.0.0 - 75.255.255.255
CIDR: 75.192.0.0/10
NetName: WIRELESSDATANEWORK
Hope this answers your questions.
Thank you for your help, I appreciate your time in this matter.
