It should show you the ip address that the router is assigning your DVR.
Go back to your DVR, and change your IP to static using this number.
The subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0 If it is not then you can verify this by doing an ipconfig on you computer that is attached to this lan as the DVR. Write down the subnet mask, and the gateway, and enter these numbers in to your DVR.
The dns number that you enter in to the DVR comes from the internet provider.
