Can't Connect to IP camera and weather station

Hi All,

If I'm posting this in the wrong sub section of the community, please let me know, and I'll move it.

 

For six or seven years I've had what I'm about to describe set up on a Verizon DSL modem, and still working ok today.

 

I'm trying to switch it over to a HT2010w modem and having some fits.

 

I have a Hikvison IP camera as a WebCam and to process I use Sebectec Ip Time Lapse Software


I have a Davis Pro II Weather Station and to process I use Cumulus Weather Software

 

The way I have it hooked up with the Verizon, both the camera and the Davis are hardwired to the back of the modem. To process the pair of them, I do this on a separate laptop that only runs those two items and the two pieces of software.

 

So I wire the laptop to the back of the HughesNet modem and connect to the internet, no limitations that I know of. Works fine. I plug the camera and the Davis connections in the back of the unit, but can't connect to either thru my software.

 

Now, when everything is plugged in, I can see the static IP addresses for the camera and the Davis using a network sniffer installed on the laptop. Both read active. But the software, with those IP addresses configured, can't 'connect' with the camera nor the Davis. Again, nothing else attached to the HT2010w.

 

If someone could kindly point me in the right direction to solve this puppy, it would be appreciated.

 

Brad

    Thx maratsade, and I hope so also. Kind of frustrating.

      All of this is beyond my skill set; the only thing that jumped at me was the static IP addresses. I don't know if that would make a difference at all, though. Here's hoping one of the mods will know, or maybe MarkJFine or GabeU .  Also, are there any support communities for the hardware and software you use? If so, someone there might be running things with HughesNet and may have an answer for you.

        Yeah, both pieces of software have forums, but no one seems to running with the HT2010, and very few on HughesNet. Seems like the static IP addresses for each of my units should make it easy to get hooked up. *shrug*

        Plan on trying again later this afternoon until the teeth grinding and hair pulling sends me into Beer30

    Just here to say your post is in the right section and that I hope someone has an answer for you.
