RV042 Port Forwarding Question

[shanyounker]

I've configured my rounter but am having a firewall issue, I think.

I'm trying to connect remotely to an IP Camera.

I've set the port forwarding on my router for port 8081 to forward to the IP of my camera.

I've set the firewall to allow traffic from the WAN to the IP of my camera.

I'm unable to connect remotely to my camera, however I can from my internal network.

When I look at the logs it shows connection accepted.

I think I'm missing something.  My camera is set to communicate over another port.  Do I need to change the port on the camera or do I need to open those ports in the firewall?

Thanks

Hi Shan,

You should forward the port that the camera is listening on. You should be able to change the listening port on the camera to 8081 as an alternative and that would work just as well.
