    Now it's asking me for a username and password and says it's a video server.

    Looks like you've cracked it.

    Use https://w ww.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 to verify if your port 80 is open or not.

    Then find your router on here - http ://portforward.com/

    Yep, portforward confirms port is not open, and can now ping router. I'll play a bit more next weekend.

    Yep - I was fiddling with DMZ settings - there was a 'allow ping' checkbox which seems to have, er, allowed ping. It's a start!

    I just managed to ping it from here.

    Code:
    ping 86.13.144.252
    PING 86.13.144.252 (86.13.144.252) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from 86.13.144.252: icmp_req=1 ttl=51 time=98.0 ms
    64 bytes from 86.13.144.252: icmp_req=2 ttl=51 time=102 ms
    64 bytes from 86.13.144.252: icmp_req=3 ttl=51 time=86.3 ms
    64 bytes from 86.13.144.252: icmp_req=4 ttl=51 time=95.6 ms
    No response from a browser though.

    The remote management uses 8080 - that didn't work either. Could be an ISP thing - I'll keep googling...

    I think remote management is usually to allow you to access the settings dashboard from outside your network. Probably best to leave it off.

    What do you get if you go to www.whatismyip.com? If you that's the same IP you gave to your OH to check then maybe his office firewall is blocking it.

    Yep - I think that's the problem. The external IP isn't pingable (I thought it was as it pings from our local network, but having dispatched OH to office he's getting no response).

    Router seems to have very few options - I tried the 'enable remote management' option and that didn't work either - still can't ping. I've set port forwarding on port 80. There doesn't seem to be anything else that looks relevant. Will keep googling...

    Yep - got IR. The only time the picture quality is poor is for about half an hour at dawn and dusk.
