Larry, does #2 connect directly to the net? Have you disabled the DSS
and attempted to connect?
Answer: I do not know how to do that. I have been thinking that because
I have Win XP and IE installed as a program I would be able to connect
with the DSS in "minimize".
Have you checked your HOSTS file, at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc for
any erroneous entries on both computers?
Answer: Again I would not be able to recognize an erroneous entry if I
saw it.
What is the vendor of the DSS? Does the DSS have a built in server?
Answer: The only info I can find is that it is named NV3000 or NV DVR and I am
sure it has or is a
Server as well. What I have found out due to your questions is that it
talks about getting a static IP which I have thru bellsouth and it talks
about opening ports. Specifically 80, 5550, 5555, 5800, 5900, 9999. It
also says to make sure these are open on the DSL modem and Linksys. I
could send the page I am talking about but not sure it would go thru.
I hope this helps and I have done all the other things like getting the
ipconfigs etc.

I just got off the phone with a tech with Linksys. It boils down to a
DNS problem according to the tech.
I have a Digital Surveillance System (DSS) using Windows XP and I have
acquired a static IP address for the computer with the DSS installed
on it. I am using bellsouth DSL and have their modem and a Linksys
router.
I have my normal shop computer and it gets to the internet just fine
using the same system as above.
I have configured the router just fine but when, from the computer 2,
I ping the IP address of Yahoo.com for instance it give me the 4
returns I expect. If I ping "Yahoo.com" it can not find the server.
The tech tells me that is a DNS problem and I should check with my
software people. (Computer 2 will not connect to the internet.)
Does anyone understand my problem and can afford some help? The
software is XP and I have no security installed like firewall etc. I
turned XP's off. (I am in over my head.)
