Problems accessing webcam from browser...

Archived from groups: alt.internet.wireless (More info?)

I've turned on port forwarding on my linksys wireless routing to the
appropriate internal IP address (which I've set to a static
192.x.x.x). I'm assuming at this point that I just need to type in the
external ip of my dsl router and that it should forward me to my
internal webcam app. Is this wrong? Do I need to type something else
in the url like a ip/port combo : 100.200.300.400:50. The camera I own
is a Q-See. It uses ports 1159 and 1259. I've setup port forwarding on
the linksys router. Do I have to type something else into the URL?

Thanks,

Jason

Might need to forward port 80 tcp. This should allow you to get to the
web configuration.
Enter xxx.yyy.zzz:80 thats : 80

Also some cams need the video and audio ports forwarded for both tcp
and udp
