I'm trying to setup a live feed webcam that I can view over the interwebs. I've got the camera routed and doing what it should, I've got an app seeing the feed and transmitting it over the network (webcamxp) but I can't get that feed seemingly past my router.
The feed on the network (192.168.0.7) running on port 80 works fine in all browers on the network so I know its streaming. I've setup forwarding on my router Netgear DG834GT but get nothing, it responds to ping, but I get a timeout error in the browser.
If I don't have port forwarding for port 80 and try my internet ip I get the logon box for my router, (only on internal network, still nothing externally)
I've got port forarding for 80 and 8080 going to 192.168.0.7 that PC has a static IP and trying that ip direct gives me the webcam. What am I doing wrong?
Portforwarding, help!
Not a direct answer to your question but I recall fiddling with routers and deciding Port Forwarding was a difficult waste of time.
The alternative I always went for was setting the DMZ, or De-Militarized Zone, to the PC's IP. that effectively forwards all inbound IP traffic to that machine.
