Hi, I bought a wireless IP camera and I'm trying to set it up as a webcam that can be accessed remotely.
I gave it a static ip and port number and it works fine from within my network. I gather from here that I need to open this port to enable remote access.
I went to portforward.com and followed those instructions for setting my pc to static ip and to open the port on the router (thomson tg585v7). I'm running XPSP2.
All the settings appear to be right but it ain't working. According to this site the port is still closed.
I downloaded a tool called simple port forwarding and used to open the port on my router's external ip, but still it doesn't work.

Any further suggestions?
