Wireless webcam behind dsl modem/router and a wireless router




By legalsin on Mar 22, 2009

" "
I am trying to set up a security webcam (linksys wvc54gca) behind a comtrend ct-5621 dsl modem/router, and a wireless linksys wrt54g router.
Currently the comtrend router is giving my wireless router an ip of 192.168.1.2. The linksys router is giving the linksys wireless webcam an ip of 192.168.2.102.
I have set up the linksys router port forwarding to forward 1024-1024 to the webcam on 192.168.2.102.
The following website gives a close summary of what I did:(http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Linksys/WRT54G/) So currently, if I type in 192.168.1.2:1024, the wireless webcam loads up immediately (great right?).

The problem is I cannot get the comtrend ct-5621 to forward an external port to the wireless router, which will then forward the port to the wireless webcam. Currently, I have the Comtrend set up using the following information. It has instructed me to set up a NAT Virtual Server that forwards port 1024 to the 1024 on 192.168.1.2 (the linksys wireless router). So in theory, if my ip address was 234.234.234.234, I could type in 234.234.234.234:1024, which would forward to 192.168.1.2:1024, which would forward to the webcam.
The following website gives a close summary of what I did:

Can anyone make a suggestion as to how I can make this available from outside the network? A security webcam is pointless if you can only view it within the network!

1. Verify that the public router is accepting connections on the 1024, not just forwarding.
2. Verify that the internal linksys router is accepting connections on 1024 too, not just forwarding.
3. Verify the default gateway for the internal linksys router is the public router.
4. Mine works with two routers.

What you have to do is ,first covert the modem into bridge mode, then configure the router in pppoe modem by having internet username and password from ISP .. that will resolve your problem

one mistake i used to make is trying to access the external ip address while on my local network. it cannot be done.

you must ask someone on the "outside", a friend or something, to try and access the "external ip address" and see if they can get access.

you may well find that everything has been working all along!

please rate this answer if it has been usefult
