Axis webcam and port forwarding with BT voyager 2100 ...... a little help?
Evening fellow Plus Netters,
For the past couple of hours I've been trying to configure port forwarding to an Axis 206 webcam via my Plus Net BT voyager 2100 router... and at this very point in time, I'm about to throw it out of the window!
I have a static IP address with Plus Net (I even rang up to check it was all in order, and it is) All I want to do is port forward this IP address to 192.168.1.4 (which is my axis webcam), however, it's just not playing ball. I even tried doing the DMZ thing to point directly to it... still no go..
If any of you have any sugggestions, I could really do with your help. Beer vouchers to the one that does
Cheers,
Foxy

Damn, I don't think the voyager 2100 does support loopback 
Can you recommend a good reliable modem/router that does support loopback? preferably wireless too that I can use with Plus Net connection...

Did I hear beer vouchers?!
Have you had a look at this?

The default port is 80 so that's the one you need to forward to a static IP address (as if it is a normal http server):

Also set up the same static IP address in your router's LAN devices configuration for the camera's MAC address and on the camera itself.
HTH.

Do you want me to PM your pint?
I had a look at the site and it’s how I had it setup. When I brought my Panasonic ip camera it said it came with its own internet server, have I miss-read this I thought it meant I could access it from the internet, but the only way it does this is to leave my desktop computer on.
Will it really work with just the router on? And if so how do I get to it i.e. I have a static ip address what address do I need to enter in internet explorer?

You are only using your bandwidth when someone is connected over the Internet (not LAN) to your camera and is viewing it. If the camera has password authentication, then only those who have the password (or managed to crack it) 
will be able to use your bandwidth.
If you want to 'switch it off' just disable the port forwarding rule (for port 80) that you have already set up on your router.
BTW, if you are using the PlusNet firewall at Low settings you will find that port 80 is blocked. Either choose another firewall setting or use a different port (assuming the camera control panel allow you to do this).
