My setup includes a internet WAN to a cradlepoint mbr1400 for internet, next I have the Samsung DVR installed on the network wirelessly and it works fine and can be viewed anywhere on the local network. It is connected to the LAN via WiFi. I tried to set up ddns with samsungipolis and I could create a product id but could not view the dvr on the net. Next I tried No-ip ddns and the same result. The DVR is set to ddns samsungipolis/"mycamera1" and so is the site at samsungipolis and it shows the dvr as "on" but cannot be viewed. The DVR is set at port 80 and tcp port 4224 as suggested by Samsung. I am not sure if I have to change the cradelpoint to some other configuration. Again on the LAN everything works perfect just access via the web is not working.......

If you go into the router what type of IP address are you getting for your WAN. If you get private...ie 10.x.x.x or similar and not a true public routable ip then there is another NAT device you can not control and ddns is almost impossible to setup and even if you can you can't do the port forwarding required.

Since cradlepoint is mostly used for mobile broadband and the use of private IP in mobile broadband is common I am going to guess that is your problem.

There really is no way to fix this unless you can somehow get the ISP to give you a public routable IP. Some ISP offer this as a option...for more money of course. Many do give you routable IPv6 address but most application do not support that fully yet.
