Title: does it work
Post by: rondoc on March 23, 2006, 02:03:30 AM: The pan'tilt works fine on the "server" computer but I cannot get any video or controls on a remote computer. Sometimes it does connect but often not via control.x10.com . IF the expereicnes of others I have read on this topic in this forum are typical I amsuprised x10 has stayed in biusiness for so long... maybe the video ascept is too complex and expecting users to handle port setups is unreasonable. I have not foound anyone yet who is pleased with pan'tilt remote usage. If so please let us all know how you did it!

I have connected with the remote computer using netmeeting as required for use with pan and tilt, but still cannot connect. Always get a response that says call was not accepted. I connect fine using WebMultiview and very happy with that. It would be nice to get pan and tilt to work. But right now, I tried everything without success.

Say I guess I'm a gluten for punishment because I was thinking about maybe getting one of those Pan & Tilts but not until I can confirm that these problems have been corrected, can I get an update, have these problems infact been resolved??? Thanks

No I never got it to work so I can see it across the Internet-

Have done a lot of research - I use d-Link router-
from D-Link, Microsoft and other 3rd parties, what I have been told is the only way to get it to work is to have the computer it is on be outside the firewall - in the DMZ- that means anyone on the internet can see and access that computer- not GOOD at all

Have tried to contact X10- but just get the same run around-

I ened up using PC ANywhere to access the desktop- but iamge is very bad- looking for other solutions.

Post by: PnTuser on May 22, 2006, 06:59:54 PM: I got mine working but with some problems unresolved. I opened the ports on the routers as instructed in http://www.portforward.com/. Next I made sure NetMeeting accepted calls automaticly on the server, you have to this everytime you start PnT Pro . I get video over the internet, but I cannot use the Pan and Tilt controls and the browser always freezes. Even though the browser is frozen the video feed continues.
