Please help with NPVR NEWA

[tuckster]

I am able to connect via http://localhost:8866, but I am not able to connect over the web from a machine outside my network. I am using the GBPVR's IP address (not the LAN IP address). I am able to successfully ping the IP address from a remote machine using a command prompt in windows. When I try to access NEWA the browser attempts to connect, but eventually times out.

How do I begin to troubleshoot this?

I'm not sure if any logs are helpful in troubleshooting this problem, but I can attach logs if needed.

Here's the setup that I have:

NPVR machine is a XP MCE 2005 machine running NPVR 1.5.33
Router is an old D-link DI 614+ running with wireless disabled
On the LAN I connect to the server using a Popcorn Hour NMT device

Please help me if you can. Thanks.

When you say outside your network....do you mean accessing your system externally via the Internet?

You need to make sure you have port 8866 open on the server running NPVR(windows firewall).
You need to make sure you have your router that is connected to the internet set to forward incoming requests for port 8866 to the IP of the server on your network.
If you are planning on streaming then you will also need to open port 7648 and forward it as well.

Then when accessing from the internet you need to use your external ip address or your external dns name (you can set up a free one at dyndns.org) with the port.... i.e. http://myexternaldnsname:8866 or http://123.123.12.1:8866 where 123.123.12.1 is the IP of your network to the internet.

Let me know if this helps.

Helps tremendously. Thank you.

I had not set up the windows firewall or router port forwarding. Works great now.
