Three cams operational (but not public yet), one to go! Oh I can't tell you how wonderful it is to have the webcamXP window going with four little previews...

But as for that last one, does anyone have any idea why port forwarding would not be working? I feel like I'm missing something obvious. I've forwarded ports on a router a hundred times. But now I've tried this on two routers and two different cam programs, but I can't get the servers to work outside the network. It won't even work as the DMZ. I've also tried giving it a separate static IP address entirely. I've tried different port numbers... and my ISP is server-friendly so that shouldn't matter anyway. It just will not work. Ideas?


Running VPN software by any chance?

I have to kill my checkpoint vpn before I can get port forwarding to work. Doubt it's the issue, but I thought I would throw it out there.

doh

Yeah.. so apparently there *wasn't* a problem... it just wasn't working for me. I swear the routers I've had before did NAT from the inside.

Did you try

Dorgem? I've used it for other sites that host a webcam and it's great. Free too!
