And if u have a cell phone you can use the app called tinycam on android phones

It's not going to work at all. Your IP is to your home router, not the modem. Basically, it's a generic number that only you can see when your connected to your home wifi.

 

[madnessknight89]

No its public

 

[IotaElwyn]

Yeah, you need to find what your external IP address is (which may change) and see if your software supports connecting externally.

 

[IotaElwyn]

192.168 is not public, anytime you see that its the internal IP

 

[ReeferEric]

I'm not going to argue what's a fact, but nobody's able to see it. I'm not a networking tech but I know something. :)

 

[ReeferEric]

The modem is what will give people access, whatsmyipaddress.com

That's if port forwarding is set up correctly and so on. A few steps to get it working correctly.

 

[madnessknight89]

I dont know right now but ill find out a little later if not you guys can walk me through it ill make it public

 

[madnessknight89]

Thank you reefer eric I think I figured it out now evryone will just have to wait till I get home and try setting it up

 

[madnessknight89]

If u do it the link http://ipcamnetwork.wordpress.com/2010/09/23/acessing-your-camera-from-the-internet/ will step by step how to make your cam public

 

[ravedood]

use dyndns.org . It maps your ISP's dynamic IP address to a host name. This way no matter how many times your IP address changes, the host name will stay the same.

 

[madnessknight89]

Yea think thats what im gunna do
