My Elk has been working great for about a year. I have dyndns setup on my Cisco\Linksys router and when I type in my dyndns name address or external IP address it connects straight to my Elk and prompts for USER ID and password. Ports, 80, 2601, and 2101 have all been forwarded to my M1XEP.
First question is shouldnt I be able to access my router externally by typing in the dyndns or IP address? Can I change the port 80 on my elk to something else like 81, 82, 83 etc? So I can access my router from the outside world? As it stands now I have to type in my extrenal IP and port to connect to DVR, IP cameras, TED, etc.
I recently discovered DDWRT and have upgraded my router. I've got everything working on DDWRT except Elk email which is weird because I used the same settings I did on my Cisco\Linksys but now email is not working. But I'm working on my ISY to handle email so I'm not going to fight with the Elk email problem for hours again like I did in the past.
What I am trying to setup is VPN and I'm not sure how that is going to work if Elk is defaulted to port 80. Any suggestions?
