Appendix B: Port forwarding
In order for webcamXP’s output to be reachable or viewable over the Internet, it is required that all HTTP ports
are enabled and unblocked in your network’s router or modem. Also, the router must be configured to
automatically route visitors to the computer running webcamXP. This process is called Port Forwarding.
Port Forwarding methods differ by router manufacturer and model. A good tutorial on Port Forwarding can
be found on http://www.portforward.com. Visit the following URL for an introductory tutorial on
enabling Port Forwarding on your router hardware:

Select your router from the page that appears. Select webcamXP, and then follow the steps presented in the
tutorial. Make sure that your system is connected to your router using a static IP address. For information on
setting a static IP address, consult your router’s help documentation or contact your router manufacturer’s
customer service.
