Hello,
I have read these forums front and back and have no luck.
1) I went to
http://www.x10.com/support/netinfo/netinfoadvance.htm to test my connection, and each and every time it fails.
2) I have my PC set to a static IP (192.168.1.103) and have forwarded the following ports in my router.
80
442
443
8080
9999
3) I have disabled my firewall (Zone Alarm) and my spy ware software (Spybot Search and Destroy) and my antivirus (AVG Free Edition)
4) I have put my IP in the DMZ in my router.
I simply can't get it to connect to the Internet. I click the connect button and it changes from red to yellow, but after 10-20 seconds it goes back to red.
I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2 freshly loaded. I also have a Linksys wrt54gs router. Running Windows XP Service Pack 2 with Zone Alarm, Spybot Search and Destroy, and AVG Free edition.
I am merely running a 1-camera ninja system. I can successfully see the picture and even control the pan and tilt with the Vanguard software. Just can't get it to connect to the Internet.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? I am not looking for use another software type suggestion. I want to use Vanguard. I also, need to use my router since there are multiple pc's on my network.
For those of you who got it to work, please post your environment here.
BE SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE! So future x10 user can read these posts with some clarity. The problem with some of these posts is that people post with generalizations that don't help or with abbreviations that I can't figure out.
Post the following info and please do not use abbreviations.
1) Operating System with Service Pack
2) Anti Virus
3) Fire Wall
4) Spyware
5) Router
6) The exact port numbers, if any that were forwarded.
7) Your camera setup
Any specific information that you believe that can help all x10 Internet users that worked for you.
I am looking forward to a healthy excahnge.
Thank you.
Alan
