Getting webcam to work on FIOS Internet

Hi,

I have the below Linksys webcam and I can not access it out side of my home network. I have sent numerous emails to Fios internet support and they keep sending me URL links that do not help. Looking at the posts it looks like port 80 is blocked unless you are a business customer, so what port can I use to access my webcam from the internet? Any help that anyone can give would be great since I have had this web camera since Xmas and have not been able to use it.

Greg

Does the camera let you change the port? change it to like 5000 or something you can remember then you can just access it like this... http://192.168.1.1:5000

Yes it looks like I can use an alternet port on this camers such as 5000. What about using a domain name like gsavlon.Linksys-Cam.com, do I just put the 5000 at the end of this? (gsavlon.Linksys-Cam.com:5000) CORRECT. Do I still have to setup port forwarding on my actiontec router and specify this port number? Yes, you will have to specify the port you want the router to portforward and you will not be able to use any of the preconfigured protocols, just click "Add" to the right and specify port number 5000 TCP. Name the service then click apply, then do the rest as normal.
