Needing help with this.

I installed the 4 cameras and the DVR.  They're working fine.  Now I'm
trying to get it to come up on the computer so we can see the business
remotely over the net.
I ran the Cat5 cable and connected it to the D-Link DL624 router.  From
the DVR, I pulled the IP address and port that the router assigned it
per the instructions.  I set it to port 08000.  Then I set up the router
to forward port 8000.  I set a static IP for the DVR in the router.  It
was able to clone the MAC number from the DVR.  Looks like I did
everything right.  But no connection.  I have the software installed on
the computer.  I set it to port 8000 with the same IP number as the DVR
and click connect, but it just sits there and never connects.  I can
open a command window and ping the DVR and it answers me.  But no
picture.  The computer is a late-model HP running Vista home premium.
It's connected to the internet thru the router and a Motorola Surfboard
cable modem.  I have tried 2 versions of the Integrated Remote Station
software, set both up according to instructions but nothing.
WHAT AM I MISSING?   This thing SHOULD work.
