I want to set up port forwarding for watcher 2.3 so i can view my webcam over the internet, but it doesn't work and i think it is because i have a router. I know how to port forward on m router but i dont know which ports to forward? can somone help? Can somone explain what inbound and outbound ports are? thanx

help website for watcher heres the help site if it helps

o yah and I was wondering if i could get another program that would atoumatically work the way msn does or something (im oly using the free trial)

Ok i have tried to fix this for a while and I'm pretty sure i need to do port forwarding. The program says the inbound port is 5003 but how do i know the rest of the poer stuff?

First try

netstat -a

and look to see if its listening.

If you still can't find it, download a port scanner such as Nmap (My personal favorite ) and look for an odd port to be open.

Though before I'd use it I'd make sure it's secure.

I would be interested in doing this too. sorry I haven't replied with answers...

Go to Start>Run>cmd

That will bring up a command prompt. Netstat comes with XP .
