Just make sure the MS firewall doesn't block your webcam program and enable port forwarding rules for the port you selected in the router and webcam program.  To be safe you should enter the port # for both tcp and udp(once you get it working see if tcp only works) .  Enter the network IP address of the PC with the webcam and check the box to enable port forward.

Hi PC

Should I make sure MS firewall is not blocking program on all puters in network or just the puter webcam is on?
newbie question...Why are these ports all stealth?
Thanks

Pretty much doesn't matter what the ms firewall does on the other PC's because the router will forward all port access for the webcam port only to the PC specified in the port forward rule. 

The ports are stealth because that's part of the router security. It helps prevent most types of external internet attacks to your PC's & network.

Thanks again
I will try this one more time
Just to reiterate

Make sure I use port forwarding not virtual server on router for IP for puter with webcam which should be on drop down menu in port forwarding rules
Use same port number as software setup says enter udp and tcp ports
Make sure MS firewall on webcam puter has this same port in its exceptions
Have I missed anything?

I'm not sure if the drop down will list the local ip address of the PC with the webcam.  It's easier to bring up a windows command line (cmd) and run ipconfig to see the ip address of that pc.

Hi,
yes, my router lists all puters on network
All other criteria I listed is correct?
Got my fingers crossed
Thanks
