I've decided to keep it... thanks for the folks here who helped me out. I had to run a long extension of ether net cable closer to where I was going to place the camera (up high on the kitchen Cabinet) with the ability to look outside. Then disconnected the Ethernet cable when I got the camera recognized

Night vision won't work if you are behind glass.
You'll have to tape the ir's up.

I think you can disable the IR function too...Day mode only...

OMG... what a ride.

The adjustments needed depend on your provider. In my case I had to change the port from 80 to 800 to get remote viewing. (Port 80 blocked by ISP to prevent web site hosting from your location).
Then I enabled port forwarding and uPNP on the camera web site. Access to camera only feasable through mobile devices (iPad, iPhone...) until yesterday.

Until Yesterday, the only access to PC based monitoring was using Firefox. A new plug-in seems to be in effect today (Uplayer) which resolves issues on all browsers.

Unless you have a background in networking, my hunch is that most will need tech assistance to go through the installation quirks.

Glad you were able to get your camera working.

Yes, uPnP and uPnP Port Forwarding is now needed to be enabled on any D-Link camera. There is issues with various router Mfrs and the use of uPnP, so to resolve most connection issues with cameras, just enable both features and you should be good.
