Hi all,
I am of course not a computer specialist - this will become apparent.
I do have an Actiontec Wireless DSL modem/Router for my LAN which includes 3 laptops, 2 PC's (all Win7) which are all under submask 255.255.255.0.
The Router is set up to only assign IP addresses above 110 (192.168.0....) and all Laptops and PC's as well as IP Cameras and NVR are set up to have Static IP addresses below 110.
I also have one Hikvision NVR, also Static, and 9 IP cameras which are connected to the LAN, not the NVR directly, addresses 192.168.0.44 through 80
Also, there are two POE switches (the type where you can not alter the IP address) which are tied into the network to which the IP cameras are attached to.
The system works extremely well, no real problems with Laptops/ Cameras/ tablets, however, 2 aspects are driving me crazy:
1- I can almost never access the Router with the 192.168.0.1 address - maybe one out of 100 times it works, the rest of the time Explorer (or Chrome or Mozilla) will show that it is accessing the Wizard (noted by the tag label) but always gives either a TIMED OUT message or DID NOT RETURN INFORMATION error.
When I reboot the Router, I can access it for a few times, then that is it again. But, it works allowing me to go to internet, relate PC's and Laptops on LAN.
The most frustrating, which is probably not something that can be helped here, is that my Surveillance NVR works inside the LAN, but, even with a Static No-Ip.biz address and proper HTTP port forwarding allow getting into the NVR browser UI, but does not show the cameras video itself (and yes, it does have Active X and Java components which have been installed).
Is it possible that the two problems are connected and that it can be fixed?
