Network camera installation

ichelleo

I installed a Panasonic BL-C210 Network Camera and can view the picture on my home network, but I cannot finish the set-up to view the video over the internet (error message: Failed to configure the router's Port Forwarding by UPnP). I have enabled UPnP and my guess is that there is an issue with port forwarding, but I haven't been able to figure it out. My router is a Westell 7500 (A90-750015-07). Any help is greatly appreciated.

#6 Do you have at least two special computers that support Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) where you can not define the ports that they use?

A perfect example. At least two game consoles. Any two (Two Xboxes, two Playstations, One Xbox and one Playstation).

#7 If you have at least two special computers that support UPnP where you can not define the ports that they use: Do only use one at a time OR are there times when at least two are on?

#9 Record down the IP Address there but do not post it.

#12 The IP Address in the router (at step 9) is the same as the IP Address as shown at that site (at step 11)?
