I know I can VPN throught the router and assign a static IP. What you are suggesting, would I hit if like a storgae device and browse results? Did you control the functions of the camera in your example?
Thanks
If you're starting from a Windows computer and can see the internal IP addresses of the devices on the remote network, you should be able to access those devices directly. Unless the remote network's firewall blocks some needed functionality, those devices will have no way of knowing that you're coming in remotely. However, if you're talking to a camera remotely, the transmission time of your commands from EOS Utility, and of the camera's responses, could be a problem. The obvious way to address that is to use Remote Desktop to log into a computer running EOSU on the remote network and use it to control the camera. The overall lag time could still be an issue, but at least the camera wouldn't see itself as being kept waiting.
My example didn't involve a camera. I was merely pointing out that it is possible to access a computer on a remote network from outside if you set things up correctly.
