If I understand correctly you're saying:

You used to be able to see the camera on your father's network
You made a number of changes
You can no longer see any of the cameras
The MAC address of some device (the cameras?) was changed - this is generally a bad idea

Please start with this guide. At a minimum you need to:

Configure each camera with a fixed IP address on the network, ensuring it has the right netmask (usually 255.255.255.0 or /24) and default gateway (which will be the Pentagram's LAN IP)
Forward a different port to each camera (eg 80 to the first, 81 to the second and 82 to the third)

If after that you're still having problems please edit your question to include:

The DynDNS hostname for your father's network
The ports you are using
The LAN IP, default gateway and netmask of each camera
Confirmation that any MAC address has been set back to the manufacturer provided value
