Port Forwarding is disabling WiFi access to my router. How can I fix this?

I have an IP Camera that I have currently wired to my router and I want it to be available outside my local network (iPhone viewing over 3G etc). I tried enabling port forwarding to port 80, but this caused all wifi devices to lose their connection to the router. I also have a DDNS address provided by the manufacturer and when I have used that it directs me to the routers address. I understand now that is because I am on my local network, but it still doesn't work outside the network. Another person has said I don't need to set up a DDNS service (even though my Belkin router uses DynDNS as a provider).

I really need this camera working online ASAP, and any help would be immensely appreciated.

You need to change the IP Camera's access port from 80 to a random number- say 42315 using the Ip camera's configuration interface, and set the router to port forward 42315 to the IP Camera's local IP address.
