High Speed Internet (DSL) and Dial-Up

[#1]

I have a computer based DVR  (security cameras), that I want to be able to see through the internet. I have done a lot of reading on the net for how to set port forwarding in both the router (Linksys  WRT54G) and the modem (Westell 6100G). I can access the camera computer from other computers on the LAN using the camera computer local IP or by using the router IP, but can’t get to the camera computer from the internet. The modem is bridged  and I created a port forward to the camera computer both in the modem and router. What am I missing?

well if you bridged the dsl equipment, then it shouldn't have any configurable port forwarding that will work, because bridging implies that you've turned off it's router functionality.  that means whatever 2nd equipment you have there (possibly another router) is controlling the port forwarding.  in either event if you can post what your rules are that you made that would help, or if you aren't comfortable posting the rules you made, can you at least verify if the source port is set to "any" vs a specific port.

If you put a specific port it kinda messes things up, so make sure it's set to any.

thanks for the reply.  The modem is in "routed bridge", (broadband connection type). I am assuming that is incorrect but. I don't see any place to change that.

I don't understand "rules" that I can post, please explain and I will post.

When I say rules, I mean port forwarding rules.  if you don't have port forwarding set up then that might be the problem by itself.  you will want to contact the people that make the dvr's and ask them what ports you need "open" so that you can look at them through the net.

Oh, thats what you needed. They have 9000, 9001, & 9002 as socket ports and 9003 as http server port. I put forwarding in the router for 9000 thru 9009 to the local IP of the DVR computer and did the same at the modem.

Ok, what you have to do is set them individually

so it will be

 TCP     any ->9000

TCP     any ->9001

TCP     any ->9002

etc

make sure that it's not

TCP  9000 -> 9009

that won't work but the 'any' will.

On the router I can input to .. application > start > end > protocal > IP address >.enable, there is no place for "any"

[#8]

leave the start as 0

[#9]

I did all that and the port (2) are still nort open to the internet. I put the camera computer in the DMZ with no success.

I apologize I didn't realize it was a linksys router

This is a similiar set up and linksys requires that you put a port number for the start. 

it looks like it wants the same number as the end

so 9000 start  and 9000 end

take a look at that site, and tell me if that helps.   sorry about that.
