Using your Linksys Wireless-G Internet Home Monitoring Camera on alternate ports
By default the camera uses port 80. This is done "behind the scenes" in the browser. If your ISP blocks port 80, or if you are forced to run your camerea on an alternate port, you must put a :portnumber (that's a colon and port number) after the URL as shown below. To run the camera on an alternate port other than 80, see the camera manual or you can change the port in the by going into the camera using your browser and selecting ADVANCED CONFIGURATION, and then OPTIONS and then scroll down to ALTERNATE WEB ACCESS PORT.
In this example, the ISP blocks port 80, so we set the camera to port 1024 and make sure we have port 1024 forwarded to the server IP. If you cannot use 1024, and wish to use another port, set the camera to that port, and then forward the port selected to the IP address of the camera.
 Using TZO WEB FORWARDING options when using an alternate port:
In the event that your port 80 is blocked, or you wish to run your camera on an alternate web server port, you can use the TZO WEB FORWARDING option that comes with your 1 year free trial. Web Relay takes a complicated URL such as http://YourName.MyLinksysCamera.com:1024 into http://www.YourName.MyLinksysCamera.com
This makes it much easier for you and others to remember the URL for your Linksys Camera.
In order to enable the Web settings, you need your TZO KEY to log in. You can find the TZO Key in the email that was sent to you when you signed up for your free 1 year trial of TZO.
Step 1) Once you find your key, Go to the TZO Control panel at https://www.tzo.com and put in your TZO key as shown below and hit Go as shown in the screenshot below
Step 2) Once you Log into the ControlPanel, Click on the MANAGE WEB FORWARDING as shown in the screenshot below:
Step 3) Once you Click on the MANAGE WEB FORWARDING, you need to select your domain name as shown in the screenshot below. Select the domain name you wish to apply the web forwarding to and hit Continue.
Step 4) You should then enter in the HTTP forwarding URL and enable web forwarding as shown in the screenshot below. Make sure you put in the proper port at the end of the URL that you wish to forward to. Click CONTINUE to save these settings.
That's It! You can now use the WWW subdomain on your domain name to access your Camera automatically. The TZO DDNS servers will take the www subdomain request and instantly forward that to the URL:PORT as shown above.
