I have a router. My webcam works without it. The router must block the connection or something because it will not let me connect. It tries to connect, then reconnect but never does. I would like to know the problem, but knowing doesn’t do much unless someone knows how to fix it. Thank you. Tell me how to fix it.

What kind of router is it? Do you know how to access the settings within?

You’ll want to configure port 5100 to forward to the IP address of the computer with the webcam. A great reference for ports used by various Internet applications can be found in our Favorite Links directory; it’s the most complete list of TCP/IP ports I’ve seen.
