For the DVRs IP address you would enter the same first 3 sets of numbers as the gateway and select a fourth set of numbers that is different then any other device attached to the same router. If the IP address of your computer in the ipconfig (BLUE arrow in Picture 3) was a single or two digit number you should be ok with any three digit number, if the computer IP address ends with a number in the 100s then you should go with a 200 number (BLUE box in Picture 4).
PPPOE: If you are going to attach the DVR directly to a DSL or Cable modem instead of a router you will need to select the PPPOE option in the NETWORK options. To do this go to the setting option in the Main Menu and select the Network icon (Red square in Picture 1), this will display the NETWORK screen shown in Picture 5. Double click on the PPPOE option box (Red box in Picture 5) which will display the box in Picture 6. You will need to contact your internet service provider to get the User name and Password you need to enter into the spaces in the PPPOE info box.

DDNS: You can access the DVR through a static or dynamic IP address; however a dynamic address can change from time to time. How often depends on your service provider. When it changes you need to go to a website such as www.myipaddress.com from a computer attached to the same router as the DVR to find out what the new IP address is. There are two solutions to this problem. One would be to get a static IP address from your service provider so that you do not have to be concerned with the address changing. Another solution would to use a dynamic domain name service to get a domain name that can be linked to your dynamic IP address. We suggest
