I'm trying to set up port forwarding on my MN-500 router
in order to remotely view a web cam on my home network
from an external PC but I just don't get it. I basically
want to set it up for the following situation: if the
incoming connection is on port 5003 (or on port 80), then
route it to 192.168.XX.YY (where YY is the final digits
in the IP address of the PC hosting the web cam).
My questions are:
- Do I use Application-Triggered Port Forwarding or
Persistent Port Forwarding?
- In either situation, do I set both the inbound and
outbound ports to 5003 (and 80) or do I need a different
port # for the outbound parameters?
- What Internet address do I use from the remote PC to
access the web cam? Do I use the IP address of the PC
within my home network (192.168.XX.YY)or do I use the IP
address that external web sites see when I'm browsing the
web (67.171.XX.YY), which is the same for all the PCs on
my home network?
Thanks!
