Setting up a network cam & router

Not familiar with your router but
if your pc has a firewall, disable it until you figure rules out.

On this firewall/router problem

I set up an open port in WinXP firewall (In advanced settings) and got sound
through but no video. By turning the wall off it works just fine using WME.

The Linksys router "Applications And Gaming" has matching port open so that
shows as something like

Web CAM 8888 8888 TCP 192.168.1.123 tick

Much the same in WinXP firewall in Exceptions AND Advanced for your access
connection.

The IP address should be whatever the PC is. The router will have it's
internet IP which set dynamically with dyndns.org or whoever.

I'm getting there so I hope the above helps

Mark,

Have a look at www.portforward.com
