In order to access my NorthQ IP camera from outside my own Local Network, I have followed all the advice available on the Internet and from suppliers but with zero success. My O2 Wireless Router V appears to forward port 8080 (and other alternatives to Port 80) but in reality does not. Where do I go from here? The O2 Technicolour TG582n 4 Port Wireless Router successfully forwards port 80 for my DLink DNS-325 NAS Box but fails to Forward Port 8080 for my NQ-9006 camera. Can anyone help?
The best way to find out what is being forwarded is to look at the traffic with the Wireshark program. You can install this from the Internet.
Wireshark is perfect for this but you have to learn how to filter traffic or there will be too much information collected. It is also regarded as (a bit of) a burglar tool so don't use it at work without permission.
I would recommend that you connect a PC to a wired port on the inside LAN and configure the router to forward outside requests to the PC. When you run wireshark on the inside PC with a filter that selects for tcp port 80 (or tcp port == 80) you will see traffic forwarded from the router.
Use your outside machine to request a page from the router's outside address and the port you are forwarding. If you have forwarding set up correctly, you should see a TCP connection attempt. If you are not running a web server on the inside PC, there will be no connection so you will only see the SYN packet from.
outside. If you have a web server on port 80, you will see a fair number of packets in both directions. (SYN -- SYN-ACK -- SYN -- some HTTP Headers an HTTP GET / a response and FIN -- FIN-ACK).
Once you see successful port forwarding (your are forwarding TCP packets, right?) at the PC, change the destination of the forwarding to the camera.
This is really technical but Wireshark is so good that it is quite easy to use.

access your gateway homepage by opening your internet browser and typing this on the address bar: 192.168.1.254/management. then key in your system password and click on Settings under Firewall. there's option#2 (allow individual applications), click on "Add a new-user defined application", input the data and click submit another way is to enable DMZ plus mode. that option would actually make all the ports open. use this if option#2 is not working. after making the above changes refresh your router, just unplug then replug it from the power.

The best way to test this is to forward it to a test webpage on another PC or server first to make sure it is working correctly, before trying the unix/linux php server.
In my experience external addresses do not work internally, unless you have your ISP allocate you moe than one external static ip
Please post your results, the provider and whether you already have multiple static ip addresses purchased

Thank you all for your solutions. I was not able to consider all these suggestions, but I did find a solution. When setting up O2 Wireless Router Port Forwarding there is an Option to useUPnP, particularly for Games Play over the Internet. When I switched this funtion OFF, I was able to forward Port 8080 successfully. I hope this makes sense as an appropriate Fix.
