Re: [Home Network] Trying to set up a web camera o
Sounds like you are double nat'ing where you have both the linky and the westel doing DHCP with the westell assigning the wan side ip of the linky and then the linky assigning the ip's of the machines.

Re: [Home Network] Trying to set up a web camera on DSL, no luck
Check the FAQ's here for instructions on setting up a pinhole aka passthrough in the Westell. You will use that information to map an external request to a port on your wan IP to the lan port and IP of your webcam. Since you are more than likely using DHCP you will need to hardcode the IP of the webcam on the nic of the machine running the webcam to keep things simple.

Wayne I would agree as most people do not understand what they have and what they are actually doing by adding a Linksys ( or another type router ) behind a Westell, The on top of all that people go and buy Norton Int Sec or some other software firewall and wonder why they have surfing/speed issues.
I have a XP system setup with an internal quadraplex 8 port PCI card used to view 4 day/night cameras which all of it I bought off Ebay for hardly nothing. I have a 2wire with my XP ICF disabled. I can view my cams inside my network just fine and as long as I have my correct port forwarded to the correct DHCP IP on my sustem and the viewing software set up with the same port I can then view my cams from anywhere. I used to have a SIP but no longer do as I downgraded my service for money saving reasons but have a domain registered through NO-IP that I use now with no probs. It really isnt that hard getting everything to work but you really need to know what all you have and how you need to set eveything up. I know that is why that person is here but we really will need a complete listing of all equipment or maybe the best thing to do is have that person call thier ISP with a conference call to the camera system techs. |

Oh sweet jesus, there it is! I need to forward the ports in the MODEM too, if only the "Expert Mode" button worked I would not be having any problems and would have been able to trouble shoot my way from there, I don't know if his modem is screwed up or what, but i'm heading out the door right now to go see. |

| Let us know I will keep an eye on the forum if call for help is needed.
It will give me an excuse to take a break from mixing and pouring cement for a tower base to sit down and reply.

Well, I decided to give up. Why? I can't keep doing this stuff at a friends house bugging him all the time (even though he doesn't mind). I'm going to wait for my DSL package to come and experiment with it once I get it. I did some last minute stuff to see if I could get it to work, it didn't. One thing I didn't do is set up pppoe on his router, reason, I don't know is password (and don't want too, don't have time to ask). I think I got it all down, I should be able to get it to work fine once I get DSL. I believe i'll probably be getting the 2 wire modem.....
The web camera is for a tourism website i'm setting up. |
