How do i hook up my H.264 4ch DVR to my computer directly my router has upnp enabled

You cannot connect the two directly. The IP address can be found in the setup page of the DVR, You then type that address into your browser to get into the DVR. The DVR must be connected to the internet using a port on the router.

This WEB site assists in setting up port forwarding by make and model of your router.

======================================...
If it is still not working

Open Router setup

At the middle Under internet settings check the WAN IP

IF it starts with 192.168. or 172.16 Then you will have to contact your internet service and ask them to bridge the modem

Sounds like the router's DNS settings got clobbered. I've heard of this happening before when UPNP is enabled.

There should be a reset switch (usually concealed iside a hole) on the back or bottom. That'll get you back to factory settings. Reconfigure as needed and I suggest you switch UPNP OFF, there is never any real need for it.

Any one interested in a class action against Q-See for lack of support even though this is one of the selling points?

enable portforwarding on your router and type in any name for your ndvr and the port number that you need to use for your ndvr to access it and the IP address of your ndvr(local IP)

where to check the port? ask you ndvr vendor for the port range that need to open on your router
local IP? assign IP local IP to your ndvr make sure you assign static IP for it.
make sure your enable port triggering and type in the port range for your ndvr.

im happy to hear more from you

If you are using an AT&T supplied 2-Wire router - then I have the same setup.
It does work.
First you can check to see if DHCP is doing the job.
Go to your router address:
(something like 192.168.1.254:5000) < they should have given you this on install)
Look at your network and see if the DVR is there.
If so, note the address.
Now go to setup on DVR and see if it has the same address.

If not...
You don't need to change the router to static, but it helps to change the DirecTV dvr to static.
I have the HR-20.
Give an address in the range of those leased by the router.
192.168.2.166 or something.
Make sure your first 3 octects match your router ie: 192.16.1
Just go to setup on the DVR and change it to the hard IP address.
If the router is not uPnP (2-Wire is not), then you may have to open a port or tow to get DirecTV VOD to work (maybe not or I don't remember which ones, googe it.)
The IP Mask should be 255.255.255.0.

Open the screen with the button below the lower DIrection Switch.
It is the you go for
'Find SHows'
"manage Recordings"

If you see a new entry entitled "Pictures, Vedeos and more" then you are online.
If not --- google some more.

Your DVR need to be set at 71.182.140.***  *** meaning an available address.  Then they will connect.
What is make and model number of the DVR?

Have you given this computer Permission for you to remote connect, let me know?
