43. r as noted in step 1 above The remote agent should successfully connect to the VXM4 allowing you to view images remotely on the PC laptop SETUP STEPS TO ALLOW REMOTE VIEWING OVER BROADBAND BASIC PRINCIPLES Imagine the Netgear DG834 is split in to two halves one half is the private side which serves the local network This half of the router has its own IP address typically 192 168 0 1 and other devices PCs laptops VXM4 etc that are connected to it will all have a unique IP address of the form 192 168 0 XXX Because this is a private network it cannot be accessed directly from the outside world The other imaginary half of the DG834G is the public side it also has its own IP address which is allocated to you by your ISP and can either be static it never changes or dynamic your ISP could change it at any time Because this is a public network in theory anyone from the outside world who knows your public IP address can access the router and your private network But because the router has a security firewall built in incoming traffic is severely limited to prevent this For this reason you need to configure the DG834 so that incoming traffic intended for the VXM4 is correctly routed instead of being blocked this is known as port forwarding You will notice on the VXM4 that in the network setup section there is also a port number This could technically be any value but you must avoid common Internet ports such as 80 11
