I have done that to death, I cant get the cam over the net. I have the
ip of the computer but its on the other side of the router. It was all hooked up before I just cant figure out the combination in the IP address when afar with the :81 or :1025. I can see the cam is 102 and my computer 101.

Thanks for the help You will need to enable port fowarding on your router. The below link should give you some info on this type of setup. http://www.sonicjay.com/cam/cam_how_to.htm img src="http://www.danasoft.com/vipersig.jpg" border="0" alt="" /BR embed src="http://www.johnwpb.com/hs/jeopardy.mp3" |

Thanks for the help but I still can't get it. I have pinged what I
thought was the camera and I have pinged the computer, it all can\me back great: Since I cant get it all I need is fore someone to show me how to again pop up the cam access, here is all of my info (I have no option) u can look around my apartment ;-) 68.66.97.9 is my ip address (it is cable but doesn't really change) I pinged 68.66.97.102 (my cam) and the ping came back ok, I pinged my computer and it came back ok. I type in the IP address http://68.66.97.102 and I get nothing, I try 102:81(changing the end) and I get nothing. Where am I going wrong (besides blasting my info on the web ;-) Thanks man, I just want saved!

Where am I going wrong (besides blasting my info on the web ;-) I don't know what software you are using but normally, you also have to add the port number the cam is using if you are remotely viewing it. With regards software, I have played around with a few of them and have found by far the best is trackercam which is free (google trackercam software) it will also allow you to zoom the cam, offers ftp AND streaming. Quite simple to set up too and is compatible with the latest java unlike webcam32. regards, Dion L Heap www.thetophouse.com |

If your real IP on the web is
68.66.97.9 and the cam uses port 81 & you set port forwarding to 81 in the router to the cams LAN IP# then normally you would access the cam from the web at http://68.66.97.9:81 "chuck" wrote in message oups.com...

Two things to watch for:
1) Assign a static IP on your LAN Your camera (or PC running your camera software) is being assigned an IP address by your router (via DHCP). This IP address *can* change so it's better to assign a static or manual IP address that's not in the router's DHCP range (i.e. behind a Linksys router, you can assign 192.168.1.50, assuming your router is using its default DHCP range of 192.168.1.100+). Then adjust your port forwarding to point to this new static IP. 2) Make sure your DSL or cable modem isn't also acting as a router If your router is behind a cable or DSL modem that also has a built-in router, this greatly complicates things. You now have two routers in a row and this makes port forwarding difficult or impossible to accomplish. To verify if your router is a DSL or cable modem with a built-in router, browse to your router and see what its WAN or Internet address is. If it's something like 192.168.x.x or 10.1.x.x, then your modem has a built-in router. If that's the case, you'll need to use the modem's router for port forwarding and ditch your existing router *or* contact your ISP and have them disable the modem's router functionality (or have them put your modem in "bridge" mode).

Thanks, you have "all" been great help. I am going to mess with it
tonight and then hopefully I can get it. I appreciate the help and Google for hosting such a cool thing. I set it up with a tech friend and it was over a year ago. Veo cams are cool just wish I could share it with multiple viewers at the same time and get it running so I can see it again. Thanks again guys, you make llife cool! Chuck |
