Hi!

They will work for extended periods of time, say, several
weeks, then I can't access them from my computer at
house #1.
Moreover, the cable tv co. could have dropped modem
signal for a short time, which I use to access router.

I think you'll find that your cable company is changing the IP address
at the other location. When that changes, you'll be unable to access
your cameras unless you know the new IP address.

A quick and easy fix will be to use a dynamic DNS service of some
kind, like DynDNS. (http://www.dyndns.com/) Many broadband routers
feature the ability to use such a service to give you an unchanging
way to access your cameras, web servers, or whatever network
applications you have in mind. Instead of keying in an IP address, you
can specify a name with which to access your cameras.

Whenever the router notices that an IP address change has taken place,
it will sign into the dynamic DNS service and update their
information. The change will take some time to propagate, but in my
experience this happens fairly quickly for most people.

A less quick and possibly more expensive fix would be to obtain
service from your cable company that would provide you with a fixed IP
address.

Panasonic provides a unique Dynamic DNS service for the Panasonic
Network Camera products called Viewnetcam.com. It is free to use after
signing up, and I use it as well. However, even this service doesn't
always provide access - based on situation described above in original
message. So, I'm still left to believe that the cameras need resetting
from time to time, but when you're away, it can't be done other than
use a timer. All opinions on this subject are indeed welcome. Thank
you, William, for your earlier reply.
