Folks, I know there are several members of this group who are knowledgeable about computer networking. We have a network in our home/offices that has evolved over time. The basic configuration is that out of our cable modem there is an Ethernet hub. 3 cables come out of this hub and go to routers, one in my office in one part of the house, one in my wife's office, and one to our wifi. These have been added as requirements came about so this probably isn't the best configuration. At the present we don't use the network to access machines in other parts of the system. I have several in my office that access each other, but they are on the same router. I do want to stay with the wired systems to the offices. We just added a home security system that can be monitored over the network. It is connected to my router as it is closest to the box. I can access the system by typing in it's IP address. Now I am trying to access it from other points in the network and the IP is not visible. As you can probably tell I am network challenged. I think what I need to do is find the IP address of the security system from outside my router. How can this be done? Thanks Doug
