Well didn't use Inetserv. I'm running XP Pro and it has IIS 5.1 with SMTP
support. Took a few minutes to set it up and then directed the camera to the system. Worked first shot! Now I'm wondering why the heck it works if I use the PC as a pass through to the cable SMTP server? It appears to be using the very same information I entered in the camera config. Why can't it connect directly. I'd rather not leave the PC on but at least I got it to work in some fashion! I wonder if this same approach has to be used for FTP as well? "bumtracks" wrote in message news:LScAd.19402$rL3.3605@trnddc03... Guess you've tried a reset, powerdown, reload firmware, and manually reconfig everything rather than a saved config.

He kept repeating the same stuff over and over and claimed sending mail to the Comcast smtp server was "advanced"! (guess that makes Outlook Express an "advanced program"!)

I suggest you try *not* using a name and password and see what happens. User names and passwords seem to be used for accessing your email account and reading what is there. |

I dunno - at least you know the camera sends mail
fwiw I share a server at pairNet and have email avail to me there, which I really dont use for outgoing - but when I absolutely need to before I can send mail from any email client I have to first check mail & then have something like a fifteen minute window to send before the login expires. Wonder if comcast works on that principle. Might try checking comcast mail from Outlook or whatever followed quickly by forcing the cam, or your router to send mail - which would sort of verify then if it works - that your appliance sendmail is SOL to comcast.

I did try not using a username or password but that didn't work either. But if no account or password is used, doesn't that mean anybody from any place could send email through the server? Not sure anybody would allow or want that type of open access. |

Not sure anybody would allow or want that type of open access. If you are interested in experimenting, below is my origional post with a link to the free sendemail windows application and the info on using the application. The sendemail application captures errors in a file for viewing, and thats where I noticed authinication errors when I included the user name and password. I think most smtp servers look at the originating IP address (with in the ISPs domain or not) to determine if the email is comming with in its system and should be sent. I've been testing this setup to automatically send a webcam frame capture via email when an event is triggered. In the batch file you would need to put in the appropriate email addresses and smpt server info for your test. ====================================== As strange as it may seem, you may not need your user name and password. I've been tinkering with a free command line email application called sendemail which was getting authorization errors. I removed the user name and password from the command line and it works. If you are sending to a mail server at your current ISP, then may accept email from with in its system with out the user and password. Below is what is required to send mail with in the system of my ISP. From, to, subject, message, and mail server. If you are using a mail server outside the system or from another ISP, then the user name and password would definately be needed. Try skipping the user name and password. http://caspian.dotconf.net/menu/Software/SendEmail/ ::========sendemail.bat========== @echo off sendemail.exe -f -t -u test -m send email test -s smtp.myisp.net:25 -l error.txt ::================================== sendemail.exe-1.50 by Brandon Zehm Synopsis: sendemail.exe -f ADDRESS [options] Required: -f ADDRESS from (sender) email address * At least one recipient required via -t, -cc, or -bcc * Message body required via -m, STDIN, or -o message-file=FILE Common: -t ADDRESS [ADDR ...] to email address(es) -u SUBJECT message subject -m MESSAGE message body -s SERVER[:PORT] smtp mail relay, default is localhost:25 Optional: -a FILE [FILE ...] file attachment(s) -cc ADDRESS [ADDR ...] cc email address(es) -bcc ADDRESS [ADDR ...] bcc email address(es) Paranormal: -xu USERNAME authentication user (for SMTP authentication) -xp PASSWORD authentication password (for SMTP authentication) -l LOGFILE log to the specified file -v verbosity, use multiple times for greater effect -q be quiet (no stdout output) -o NAME=VALUE see extended help topic "misc" for details Help: --help TOPIC The following extended help topics are available: addressing explain addressing and related options message explain message body input and related options misc explain -xu, -xp, and others networking explain -s, etc output explain logging and other output options |

Did you ever get the FTP to work?? I am getting the same error. I am
using my home computer's FTP (Win2k with IIS 5) and it is not working for me. I have also had no luck getting the camera to work wirelessly with my Belkin 802.11b wireless router. It worked for 10s after i power cycled both router and camera, but then it all crashed! Tech support was equally lame when I talked to them about the problems. |

I have a D-link 2100+ camera and it would crash using wireless. The fix I
found was to untick UPNP in the camera settings and it has not crashed since. I also use the email functionality of the camera without any problems, I tried the FTP for a while and this also worked for me. This was to an external account on the Internet.

Nope, never got the FTP functionality to work. The SMTP only worked if I
set up an SMTP server on my PC (built into XP Pro). D-Link's pathetic support claimed trying to send to a cable company email system was "advanced" and not supported, yet there help files contain reference to Comcast, etc. I must say that D-Link tech support is THE worst I have ever had the misfortune of speaking to. I will never buy another D-Link product again and will advise others to do the same. For a product costing over $300, one expects to be able to speak to somebody that isnlt thumbing through the written scripts for the first time! I actually had to educate HIM on the camera! Can you try your camera with another router? Does the same thing happen on a wired connection? I had mine connected to a Netgear wireless router with all security enabled as well as UPNP and it was fine. The networking was about the only thing that worked as advertised with this camera.

Please do tell more... Exactly what provider were you able to FTP and Email
to? What was the magic information that worked with the 2100+? It might help us with the 3220G. D-Link support sure as hell can't help! "mk38" wrote in message ...

I am sending my motion detected snapshots to a Gmail email account vial my
mail server on Voxetreme. I have the mail server name and the user and password fields set up. Thats all. Under Tools, Applications, I chose Event Operation and the Trigger condition is the motion detection window I had setup. Then upload Snapshots while motion detected is ticked. On the same page the radio button is ticked to send snapshots via email. The FTP account was also on a server operated by Voxextreme. http://www.voxextreme.co.uk the user name did not have an @ in it. I could not get it to work with a username with an @ in it??? The only difference from above settings is that the FTP account is filled in and the Tools, Applications, the radio button to Send snapshots via FTP is on instead of email. Both of these work well for me. My set up is the DCS-2100+ running wireless to a Netgear DG834G router. My ISP is Plusnet in the UK. I also forward the ports through the router to the camera so it can be viewed from across the Internet. HTH mk38 "johnQdoe" wrote in message ... Please do tell more...
