Hello, which Dyndns provider do you use?
DynDNS Pro from DNS Email Labs ... they have a wizard to assist the setup.Quote:

... what am I setting up ? * a website ? No; * a camera ? definitely not; * a DVR ? no idea what that is; * remote access ? uh, yes ? sounds promising; * VPN ? do I need a virtual private network ?; * an alternate port ? that sounds like it could be the thing I need; * internet guide ? No.
Remote Access should be the right one.
Thank you, DenisO :)
Given up ... all too difficult.
mine actually worked after installing the latest firmware .Quote:

Pity because I travel a lot for my work and am away from home for extended periods of time and this app would be very useful.Quote:

Thank you DenisO ... I'll give this one more shot!
Opendns account is now created and the Netgear router is set up with new Primary and Secondary DNS addresses ... where to from here ?
