D-Link DCS-900W Problems

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

The camera has been working fine for several months. It is connected
wirelessly through a Linksys WAP 54G access point connected to a Linksys
BEF-SR 81 router. I have ports 83 and 8484 forwarded to the camera's IP
address. Suddenly the camera cannot be accessed on the WAN side of the
router (via the internet). It can still be accessed behind the router using
its IP address. Any suggestions would be appreciated

TIA, RBM

Memory leaks are often the problems with devices running in a continuous
mode. Try turning off the webcam first and turning it on after a couple
minutes to see if that fixes the problem. If not, do the same thing with
your router. That should fix the problem if either one has a memory
leak.
