Specify port 80 or any other one on which Geovision is running when specifying the domainname or public ip in GV-iView as below –

ip: 129.12.1.23:80
port: 8866
ID: XXXX
Pwd: XXXX

Cheers:)

For South African users on M-WEB:
Assuming that you have set up the server exactly as above and you still get Conneciton Failure!

Your ports 80 and 8080 are blocked,but you can unblock 8080.

So:
1. Log into: https://myaccount.mweb.co.za/
2. Log in with your adsl username/password.
3. Click on My Adsl
4. Click on ADSL protected access
5. Disable protected access.
6. Log out.

Then:In your Geovision software,click on the Network button> click network port information>click + on Webcam Server>double click HTTP port-Now change this to 8080-tick and exit.
Restart Multicam by start-up settings.

Now get into your router’s setup and forward port 8080 to your Geovision DVR’s IP as usual.
Restart the router.

Now use:http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ to check that port 8080 is actually open.
If it is,then you are nearly home!
In GViView alter the hostname or IP address in the IP field to have the suffix:8080 EG:idvr.dyndns.org:8080
Connect!

Nothing worked, found the problem (for my situation anyway)! Was getting the “Conneciton Failed” error. None of anything I found on the forums worked. I am now up fully! Somewhere along the way, some upgrade or ? had inserted a space as the first character in the ip field on all my previous addresses in the IPhone Iview setup screen(s). Spaces were not very noticable, so missed it the first few times. The space gave me the Conneciton Failed error at two Geo locations/computers after upgrades, now all working. I retype the entire IP address making sure there is nothing preceeding the address, including a blank space. If you have the Connection error, this might solve it. I have seen no other references to this on any Geo or IPhone forums.

fixed my 2.1.1 no connection using 8.33.

Hi… I have forwarded all ports listed in the instructions and have setup the actual software as instructed. Workes great when i’m in wifi but as soon as I go to 3g it’s a no go. RPD doesn’t work in either setup (wifi or 3g)… Please Help

What is meant “Forward the following ports from your firewall to your Geovision Server…”? Does this require some sort of action?
