This is a combined Computer/DVR issue.

A day or two ago, Mozilla did an update on my system and everything began to run slowly. I didn't connect the problem right away to the Mozilla update so I may have made the situation worse when I responded with a file and registry cleanup using ccleaner. Everything was working fine last night, but this morning Mozilla won't let me connect to my DVR. Tried Google Chrome, but I learned that you don't even have the option to enable NAPI on Google Chrome.

I was using an autonat for my DVR (which was sort of forced on me when I purchased a new DVR - many of these things turn out to be DIY projects even when you get help). The process use to be resolved by granting Permissions in Firefox, but, I understand, that is no longer available. I possibly closed that door when Mozilla updated itself.

I suspect I need to figure out how to port forward using the new DVR in order to access video through the LAN. It was something I was avoiding because it required relearning a whole new DVR system.

So quick questions: Is anyone familiar with a browser that can poke a hole to access autonat through WAN?

If not, refresh my memory on port forwarding for LAN. If I recall, I need to get IPscanner, figure out which address is available for the DVR and port forward through the router. Then, access the address through the url. Right?

You should be able to be able to get a list of IP addresses for your LAN from your router.
