Connecting TC to Honeywell DVR

I am the proud owner of a new Mini Mac with Thunderbolt Display. Only issue is that I have previously always used PC. I am trying like **** to figure out port forwarding with use of time capsule. Here is my set up:
Motorola Cable Model (connected to) Time Capsule (running all my home wi-fi.
I have a Honeywell DVR HRG85 with a connection to a net gear wireless adapter (WNCE2001) which I want to port forward and allow access to view via internet outside my home as well as via the HGR app available for iPad and iPhone.
Security system team has been at my home on and off for at least 100 hours and tell me they cannot make it work with TC. Question, can anyone here help me out? They claim I need to purchase an additional router to make it "easy" and not use my TC.
Please help, going nutz with poor answers...

They claim I need to purchase an additional router to make it "easy" and not use my TC.
That might be a very good answer. Is this the very poor answer you are referring to.. ??
To be blunt.. the TC is a router with an amazing lack of controls.
The new utility lacks the ability to see the local Logs.. how you can make a utility .. call it a utility and then say it cannot view logs.
How can you do anything with tools like that??
So step 1. Load 5.6 utility into your new shiny mini.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. but you might need to give permissions in the Mac to open files you DIDN'T download from Apple.
Drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
For screen shots see this post.
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4668746?tstart=0
I have to tell you I don't believe the 6.1 utility even does port forwarding correctly.
Then give us all the info .. what ports do you need opened.
Please post screen shots of exactly how you are doing that.
And the setup of the wireless AP.. to make sure it isn't routing.
Can you tie it by ethernet just for a trial.
And how are you getting the public IP for remote access.. ?? Does the DVR run a dyndns software.
I would serious consider using a standard wireless router.. cheap and good. Netgear WNDR3800 running gargoyle firmware.. excellent.
And use the TC in bridge mode as backup target and for wireless is also fine.

Connecting AX to DirecTV DVR

I am using Airport Extreme for my wireless network. I am currently using an Express (b/g) for AirPlay without difficulty. How do I configure the Express so that I can connect it to my DirecTV DVR? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the discussions, Laarni_RN!
In order to do what you want, you'll have to configure both the AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express to participate in WDS (Wireless Distribution System) network.
If you have a newer "n" version of the AirPort Extreme, the router will drop down to "g" wireless levels in this type of configuration because WDS can only operate at "g" wireless speeds.
WDS is a difficult setup for many users, so that may be a concern as well. To give you an idea of what will be involved, take a look at the post from forum expert Tesserax regaring this type of setup.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2641670&tstart=0
The newer 802.11"n" version of the Express would allow you to set it up in the "extend a wireless network" configuration. In this type of setup, the Express will provide more wireless coverage and the ethernet port is also enabled. Everything will run at "n" speeds on the entire network....if your AirPort Extreme is "n" capable.
If you have an older "round" AirPort Extreme, the WDS configuration is your only option.

Connect TV receiver and DVR receiver to network

Keep getting an error message when I try to view my recordings. It says I need to connect my TV receiver and DVR receiver to the network. How do I do that?

Your DVR (the TV receiver with the hard drive) and other TV receivers must all be connected to the Residential Gateway for them to function correctly. The AT&T installer should have done this for you during installation. Unless something has changed since then (moved one or more of them around, relocated some cables, unplugged the Residential Gateway), this should still be thie case.

Connecting Time Warner Cable DVR to Airport Extreme or Express

I have been researching this topic and can only find setups described fro Tivo and Diect Dish....I know how to connect the DVR to either but once I do how is my DVR accessed online?
For instance when i connected my printer to my Extreme id detected it automatically -- with my cable DVR I see nothing. Does my question make sense or am I not being clear?

Welcome to the discussions!
When you connect an audio video device using an ethernet connection, the device will usually auto configure to work on the network. To do this, you would connect an ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on your router to the ethernet connection on the DVR.
Because you are using an AirPort Express and the single port is connected to your modem, this makes things a lot more complicated. While it might be possible to configure another Express to connect to your wireless network and also connect to the DVR, the best resolution by far would be a router with 3-4 available ethernet ports like an AirPort Extreme.
You will need to check the website of your cable service provider to get the web address for their DVR service. I would guess that it has some sort of On Demand function or similar to download movies and other entertainment to your DVR. There may also be a link on the home or information page for your service.

Connect apple tv to DVR or SATELITE BOX?

can I connect my apple tv to my satelite box or to my blue ray player?

Thanks Winston. It was only a cosmetic purpose just because my tv is on the wall and I was traying to avoid more cables going on the wall like a spagheti plate. I presume the same applies to connecting the apple tv through my blue ray

Connecting DVR to Airport Extreme for remote viewing of my home 16 camera system. I have tried for 2 days and still stuck. I have secured a dyndns account and have had no luck for 2 days. A detailed list for an amateur would be much appreciated.

I have been trying for 2 days to connect my home camera dvr to the internet through my Airport Extreme. I have read several previous posts on this topic and have not been able to get this completed. I secured a Dyndns account and registered a host domain. I am not clear on which ip address to use and really which is which. Seems like the ip address for the router is different from the ip address that showed up when I secured my dyndns host name. I used the one that was listed on the signup that staed " your ip address is". I have read up on port forwarding and watched UTube and still no luck. Can someone walk me through a steo by step process on how to get this completed? I want to be able to watch my cameras from my iphone, ipad, macbook pro and the internet. I do have a manual that came with the DVR but it seems everything is setup for Windows and a different router, seems like the AE router had different settings. I can usually figure these things out eventually but I am really stuck this time. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.

Have you had any luck? I am currently attempting to do the same thing and running into similar issues.

Must DSL modem and Extreme be directly connected to Fios DVR?

When we had Fios installed a couple years ago, I reluctantly brought the DSL modem and Airport Extreme from the den to the family room so that the two could be connected directly to the DVR set top box. (We have no Fios coaxle jack in the den.) I now wish to connect an external 2T hard drive to the Extreme, but only if I can relocate everything (except the DVR STB and the TV) back to the den.
Would this be doable -- preferably without having a coaxle jack installed in the den? (Fios is also providing our internet service.) I assume having Frontier come out to install a coaxle jack in the den would be the simplest solution, but am hoping there might be a quicker and less expensive method.
And, isn't connecting the DVR STB directly to the DSL modem really only to enable ordering and viewing movies and other pay-per-view products?

I have the same issue with my 24" March 2009 iMac connecting through a Linksys BEFSR41b router. I can connect directly to my cable modem with no problem, but will not automatically find the router. I had to go into the Network control panel and for the ethernet go into Advanced and manually set the speed to 10baseT, Full Duplex, and turn off iPv6. The connectors on the 9 year old Linksys router are a bit flaky at this point. I hope a new router and cable will let me connect at 100baseT.

DVR - PC CONNECT

Can anyone tell me how to connect my Verizon FIOS DVR to my PC so I can transfer my movies off of it like I did with my awesome TiVo?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have an older Sony Digital-8 camcorder, and I simply connect the camera's A/V cable to the set top box. I can record onto the camera tape, or (better) connect my camera to my PC at the sametime via firewire and use my movie software to capture the program. It works great (so far).

Cannot get my eSATA drive to be recognized on my DVR Moto QIP7216

I bought an eSATA hard drive from Amazon
Fantom GreenDrive 1TB USB 2.0/eSATA Desktop External Hard Drive GD1000EU
My DVR is an eligible model, Motorola QIP 7216
I bought an eSATA drive, but it only came with a USB cable.
So I bought an eSATA to eSATA (M/M) cable, and connected it to the DVR
Went through the process of adding more memory, and restarting the set top box, but it still won't recognize it.
Can someone please help? Am I doing something wrong?

System Information: 1.9
Build 10.95
Data Object Version Number 30.95
Platform ID QIP-7216 P1

DVR doesn't recognize new eSATA drive

I just purchased a new eSATA drive (Western Digital 1 TB: WDBABT0010HBK-NESN) and connected it to my Motorola QIP7232-P2 set-top box, but after following the on-screen prompts to enable more storage the DVR does not recognize the additional storage and still reflects the pre-eSATA drive usage %.
I've already disconnected and reconnected the eSATA drive and tried to "enable more storage" through the DVR, which included rebooting the set-top box, a few times already.
Thoughts?

Thanks, Armond! I haven't tried replacing the SATA cable yet, but that may be the next logical step.
I tried disconnecting, reconnecting and rebooting the DVR at least a dozen times. Finally, I was able to get the DVR to recognize the external storage (showing 100% capacity).
However, when the eSATA drive was connected and recognized the DVR wouldn't record any shows (neither scheduled nor live TV). As soon as I disconnected the drive, recording would resume. The error message I received in the "History" section of the DVR stated, "This show could not be recorded due to the channel being unavailable, not subscribed or other error." Verizon Technical Support even sent me a refurbished DVR and that encountered the same problem.
Do you still think it's the cable?

Recordings on DVR Expander not displaying

I have 2 FIOS DVR expanders that are connected to my FIOS DVR. The DVR model number QIP 7232 2. The expanders are the approved ones form Western Digital. I connect one of the DVR expanders at a time through the eSATA cable, and I disconnect and connect them using the DVR menus, so I just don't pull out cables without using the menu.
The last time I re-connected my DVR expander #1 the names of the shows are not coming up in the menu even though the main DVR knows there is an expander connected. DVR #2 works just fine. I have checked all cables, rebooted the main DVR, and reinstalled both expanders many times. #1 continues to not display the shows, #2 is just fine.
Short of re-formatting #1, would anyone have a solution?
Thanks!

This issue actually has nothing to do with the 1.9a update to the guide interface.
I have had the F1 event trio set up for a long time now (and had 1.9 since last year as a beta tester) and they also did not schedule. The culprit is Verizon's crappy guide data provider. None of this past weekend's F1 live events (for the Indian Grand Prix) on Speed were marked as NEW so the series manager ignored them (I have it set for new, any time, and selected channel so I don't pick up the re-broadcasts).
I don't know when Verizon is gloing to learn that a DVR is worthless if the guide data is wrong - this guide data issue is a persistent one that Verizon seems unwilling to correct.

DVR no longer able to send an email

Hello.
I have a WRT54G connected to a Zytel 660R DSL modem. Prior to my issue, the modem was configured as a router and my CCTV DVR was able to send me an email. I reconfigured the modem to be a bridge with port forwarding setup in the WRT54G, I did this so I was able to connect remotely to my DVR to view my cameras. Once I did this, I lost the ability to receive emails from the DVR.
I verified that the emails can still be sent by reconfiguring the modem as a router. So, I'm pretty sure that there is a setting I'm missing within the router that has disabled the emails.
I'd appreciate any thoughts you might have on this topic.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You need to login to the setup page of the Router and under "Application and Gaming" tab you will find Port Forwarding.
Application Name   Start Port   End Port   Protocol IP address Check box.
DVR1                      110           110          Both      IP of DVR    Enable
DVR2                       25             25           Both      IP of DVR     Enable
Once you are done with the settings, then click on save settings..
Now check if you are able to receive mail or not.

Apple TV and DTV DVR

Can I use my 3.0 Apple TV as the internet connection for the DTV DVR? That is, plug the ethernet cable directly between DVR and Apple TV and end up having wireless connection to internet.

would have been even faster just searching the forum for the answer as it has been answered numerous times already (and there is already a thread asking pretty much the same question just a few threads down from yours).

Trouble connecting iPhone to remote IP Panasonic cameras- Ports issues

Cannot connect remotely to camera DVR with the iPhone due to Java Applet issues not supported by Apple. I also cannot connect to the home panasonic IP cameras because the error "Not allowed to use restricted network port" appears. In order to connect to the cameras remotely I must enter the port number after the local IP address, and is not allowing me to do that. Any expert out there? Example of a connecting address: http;// 95.242.228.177:80 (80 being the port).

Are you using a specific application to connect or trying to go through Safari?
You may need to use an app that connects to IP cameras.
You can search the app store and search "video camera" or "webcam"

DVR Optical Out to Mac Mini Optical In - How do I...

I have USB powered speakers connected to my Mac. I'm trying to connect a Dish HD DVR via the optical ports.
In User Preferences I can see the input scale fluctuating so the optical connection appears to be complete but I can't output the audio signal to my speakers (they work fine with iTunes etc.).
Surely I don't need additional software to make this work...
Any advice? Anyone else have a similar setup?

Welcome to the Apple DIscussions!
Surely I don't need additional software to make this work...
Actually, you do. You'll need Rogue Amoeba's LinIn to allow the Mac to passthrough audio from another source:
