Running Windows XP SP2,I have DSL with Dynamic IP, a Linsys WRT54GS router
and a Sony network camera, a subscription to DynDns.org and their Dyndns
Updater, and the Sony's free DDNS site.

I have been tring for two weeks to set the camera up to view on the Internet
with no luck, I can view the camera from the computer hooked to the router.
In the Linksys setup under Dynamic IP there is a Dyndns.org box but ever
time I fill the information in it comes up with a error, Host Name error.

I think I'm going to upgrade My DSL the upgrade comes with a Static IP
Address, is this the best way to go?

I would be THANKFULL if somebody could shed some light on how to view the
camera from the Internet at a diffrent location.
Thanks
Ronnie

It is probably your Linksys router. You'll need to go into the advanced
mode, and forward port 80 traffic to your camera. Or if you want, you can
forward another port of your liking (54321) to the camera. If you do this,
you'll have to type in the following to access the camera -
http://www.blahblah.com:54321.

If the camera is installed on your XP SP2 pc, then you need to forward the
trafic from your router, to the IP address of your PC. Then make sure you
have the proper configuration on the Windows Firewall.
