Yeah or I could switch to home on the app when I'm home.
I thought it was happening when I was out too.

Thanks for the help.
It is working fine switching between the home and away profile.
I haven't had time to call Comcast and either set it to bridge mode of see if there is a way around the NAT loop back.

Some routers also have their own dns servers you can add an entry for your DDNS name so that internally that name will give your internal IP address. Something to look for also as another method.

Called Comcast about this issue and they enabled DMX mode for the RA port only.
I know DMZ is less secure, but do you think I will have any security issues?
I do have the server authentication set on the RA.

I'm not using the camera anymore.
DMZ on the RA has been working fine.
I was just concerned that it was leaving me vulnerable.

Only if the ra was listening on any other port which it isn't but i basically means you have no port forwarding going on at all

No. It's just open for that IP address.
