I suspect that the static IP is a LAN IP.
The open ports are (probably) forwarded to the static IP address, such
that when a request comes in from the internet on that port, it's
directed to the camera feed(s).
One way to direct a request to a specific port is to enter the IP
address in your browser, followed by a colon and the port number. I.e

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.
