Port fowarding for linksys WVC54GC Wireless G internet video camera

Hi

I have recentlty installed a linksys WVC54GC Wireless G internet video camera. My plan to is to view the video from the internet. As part of the setup, I am using SOLOLINK DDNS service. The set up requires me to do port forwarding for the camera which is part my home network ..

I do not know the values to input for
public port
private port
with in the port mapping environment in the Air port express base stations.

Linksys suggests I open port 1024.. Can any one help me in the setup ..

powerbook, Mac OS X (10.4.7)

ashwani, Welcome to the discussion area!

"public port" is the port seen on the Internet side. Usually this is the same as the private port. When accessing your camera from the Internet the application performing the access would use http:YOURPUBLICIPNUMBER:PORTNUMBER. Generally this depends on the application you are using for remote access. Some applications only use a specific port while others allow you to configure the port.

"private port" is the port on the LAN side that you want the service or device to respond to. It sounds like you want this set to 1024.

Thanks,

I have done the changes, It does answer the specific issues i had asked. However I am still unable to view my camera from the the internet.. I did some reading up and I think the problem is due to the IP address..

My AEBS assigns IP which looks like 10.0.1.1 .... In order avoid changing IP, i had assigned the camera with the static IP 10.0.1.252. This is outside the AEBS dynamic range. Hence when i access from internet, i get a message that server is not responding. it looks like this is not a valid IP from an external internet world... I have looked at the AEBS settings and found the actual IP in ther internet tab.. Should I assign the camera with the actual IP ??.. However that is DHCP, so I am a little lost ....

To access the camera from the Internet, you will need to use the IP address assigned to you by your ISP... not the IP address you are using on the camera.

Did you successfully get your WVC54G camera to connect wirelessly? I've got two cameras, one from Axis and the other linksys, and neither will connect wirelessly to either WEP or open. I have several other devices that can connect (Skype phone, Dell PDA, Roku audio device, Windows PC), so I do know all about settings. It's almost like these cameras can't connect to the Airport Extreme, for some reason.
