    hey friends,
    this IP cam i bought two weeks ago is giving me a big trouble when im trying to install it.

    its a wireless IP cam which i can connect via wifi to my wireless enabled router with a DSL connection.

    the thing is it works fine
    when i type my LAN ip address but never been able to access it from out side(over the internet)

    from a different location i tried with the IP ad i received from my ISP
    and it connects to my router setting page instead of seeing the cam

    any ideas wot to do :)

    very good Hishamzz,

    that's the thing i had to do. i just went to my router config menu and enabled the DMZ option to my IP cam address. simply all the incomings has been forwarded to my camara IP address

    now i can watch my cam frm anywhere just by typing my WAN ip adress on the net browser. ;)

    thanks hishamz crazy_life and mlakmal
