...looks like it does the same job as the DDNS services/sites I've mentioned. It may be "tuned" a bit better to your router's functionality.
Sine that site and the S/W you downloaded works with your router I would try that first. Check what it says in your router manual. What should be listed on the linksyssmartwifi site should be (I think) the WAN address that you see from home using IP chicken. See page 18 to get a list of the devices and their IPs which are on your LAN.
Then make sure that port forwarding is set correctly so that the port which the DVR listens to is the one forwarded to the DVR's current IP address.
I'll look into the linksyssmartwifi site more when I have a chance.
Cheers
