MOST PEOPLE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR FIREWALLS.  WINDOWS FIREWALL WORKS IF YOU FOLLOW DIRECTIONS IN PAGE 2 OF THIS HELP PAGE.     ....NOTE:  MCFEE FIREWALL IS NOT REAL FRIENDLY FOR THIS NETCAM.                     I DISABLED THE MCFEE FIREWALL AND ENABLED WINDOWS FIREWALL.  AFTER YOU ENABLE WINDOWS FIREWALL, FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS IN HELP, PAGE 2.  THEN THE NETCAM PICTURE SHOULD WORK OK.

(This is Page 2)     FIREWALL & OTHER SECURITY SETTINGS

You might have to open PORTS IN YOUR FIREWALL FOR THE NETCAM TO COME THROUGH FROM THE INTERNET.

The Netcam requires Port 1024 for HTTP and Port 5003 for Video Streaming to operate correctly.

In Windows XP do the following:

OPEN Control Panel, Click on Windows Firewall icon, or SELECT Security System and click on Windows Firewall icon at bottom of Security System window

Either way you will see a screen similar to the one shown below

If your Firewall is ON you have the option of turning it off temporarily to stop firewall blocking, but a better idea is to do the following:

Click on EXCEPTIONS Tab shown below

Click on Add Port box near bottom of window,

You will see a window like that one shown below with a blank space for entering a

Name and Port Number. Also a selection for TCP or UDP

Name and Port Number. Also a selection for TCP or UDP
