Re: Linksys Compact Wireless G Internet Video Camera can't access it over the net - need help from someone who does

I am trying to install a four camera system using a linksys compact
wireles g internet video camera connected to my Compact PC 1000, using
Windows XP, linksys wrt 54g version 5, over Wild Blue Satelitte isp.
Firmware updated May 26th.

I signed up with linksys and got the IP link that I am to use to
access the remote viewing server.

Everytime I try to access the link site provided by linksys with IE or
Netscape I receive the
message "the page cannot be found".

I have redone the install several times, called linksys tech support,
replaced the camera, and still can't get passed STEP 1.

Linksys Tech support said the camera must be defective. This was their
only solution as to why I could not see the site over the internet
even though the message I received was "page not found". This type of
message to me would indicate the link was bad, or the portal number
associated with the link, wasn't correct.

Today I installed the replacement camera. I can see the camera image
just fine locally as before, but once I try to see it over the net I
still get the message "page cannot be displayed".

I have disabled my firewall on my PC, lowered the browser settings to
zero security and accept all cookies.

I agree I must be stupid. What in the world am I doing wrong?

If there are any Saturday surfers who would like to take pitty, I
would gladly
and grately accept a walk through.

Is there anyone out there who has this net service viewing up and
working?

It can't be this difficult. Anyone with nothing else better to do
today, I would love to hear from you.

dummy newbie

I have the WVC54G camera and a Linksys WRT54GS and it works fine with my SBC
DSL.
The settings in my WRT54GS are:
From "Applications & Gaming" / "Port Range Forward"
I have set for "Application" name = Camera
Start 10** End 10** (** = your port number)
Protocol = TCP
IP Address 192.168.1.* (* = your number)
Check box "Enable" yes... check that box.

Remember that the camera requires an Active X control to view over the
Internet. So you must be using Internet Explorer. And if your using WinXP
you must recognize when the Active X control is trying to load to your
computer and allow it. You do this only once.

And like Jeff said you must include the port number in the URL preceded by a
colon.
