One I go up stream and plug into the 2wire that IP adress is not valid (web page unknown) I then (as per the samsung manual suggests) opened up my browser, typed that IP in and was directed to the ipolis web veiwer which I was able to log on to and see all 4 cameras in action. if I have the DVR plugged strait to the 2wire it says un able to find router. I plugged my laptop into the linksys and logged into the router found the DVR connection and noted its IP adress (192.168.1.34) configerd this way thr DVR gives me a sucessfull connection status.

I ran a network cable from my 2wire (model3801hgv) to a secondary router (linksys modelE1200) than a patch cable from the linksys to the DVR. I did some research once I installed it and it didnt work and found a thread somwhere that said the 2wire router I am using doesnot allow uPNP which is neciarry to make my system work right, so here is how I have it set up right now.

My problem is getting it to function correctly via samsungs web based system ipolis. I bought a 'plug and play' dvr/camera system from samsung. Ok I am not a networking tech by any means but I know how to follow directions and i have done that till I cant go any more and my stuff still doesnt work so here I am.
