I've been reading for hours. This forum is clearly out of my league. However, am hoping someone can clue me in here? My sister has set up a wireless cam in her apt in the UAE for her daughter (here in North America) to be able to connect to and see when ever she wants to see her mum. She sent me the IP address and apartment router but there is a DNS error? Do I need a VPN into the UAE and use a local gateway? I can ping the IP address in dos.?? Am pretty novice at this but would appreciate the help!....also posted on remote access thread...unsure which I should use?? sorry for doubling up.
