Below I posted about not being able to get into my LAN from the internet,
and I received some really good suggestions. However, it turned out to be a
weird problem that I still don't fully understand: My Dlink router was
reporting the wrong WAN address. I discovered this after getting so fed up
with trying to make the sitatuation work that I swapped out the Dlink for a
Netgear RP614 that I'd had on the shelf. When I got into Settings, I saw
that the WAN IP address was completely different than that listed by the
Dlink. So I forwarded port 80 to my webcam/web server and called a friend.
I had him enter the WAN address reported by the Netgear into his browser,
and whamo, he was in.
Why the Dlink still shows the WAN address incorrectly is beyond me. Any
ideas?
