I have been working on the problem noted below and I have a few
questions that maybe someone can answer.
Let me explain the situation first.
I have computer one which is my shop computer with XP on it.
Computer 2 is used only for a NV 3000 4 camera surveillance system and
also has XP.
I was told that to watch the DSS (Digital Survaillance System) on the
internet I must have a Static IP which comes from Bellsouth my ISP. The
instructions say that 6 ports must be opened. I also found out that due
to the ports being opened I would not be able to access the internet
from computer 2. (This was my original problem and I did not know I
would not be able to use the internet.)
Both computers are behind a linksys router, (WRT54G)and then connected
to the BellSouth Westell DSL modem. The connections are with cat 5 cables.
My question are as follows;
1. Should my computer 2 be assigned the Static IP of 74.xxx.xxx.xx?
2. When I open the ports of both the modem and router must I be on
computer 2? Or are these ports open to both computers?
3. At present for some reason my router is connecting to the
74.XXX.XXX.XX now and when open my browser and type in 74. number I go
to the setup for the router! That does not seem correct to me.
Hope this is understandable as I am very new at this.

Hi Larry,
I've read your responses and I'm still a little hazy on your setup. Does
your modem plug into the router or into your main computer? What type of
modem is it? Is it just a straight modem or is it one of those modem/router
devices that plug into your network router? Be more specific about your
physical hardware arrangement.
No matter what you are running you need to be able to establish an internet
connection first with the computer that has the DSS software on it.

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.
