What is Port Forwarding?

View all Router Screenshots.

Before we can forward ports for ActiveWebCam, we need to figure out what ports ActiveWebCam++ is using. Here is a brief walkthrough on how to do that. Go ahead and open up ActiveWebCam and get into the camera you want to modifies settings.

At the top of the camera's properties page click the Broadcasting link.

There are two things on this page that require forwarding a port. If you have Remote Access enabled, you need to forward the port in the remote accesses section's Port box. You can change the port that is in that box if you like. Please enter the port for Remote Access into the box below. If you are not using Remote Access just leave this box blank.

The HTTP Server is the second thing in Active WebCam that requires port forwarding. The Port box in the Http Server section contains the port number that must be forwarded for the HTTP Server. You can change that port number if you like. Please enter the port you are using for the HTTP Server into the box below. If you are not using the HTTP Server just leave this box blank.

To setup port forwarding on this router your computer needs to have a static ip address.
Try our free PF Setup Static IP Address Program which will setup a static ip address for you.

Or you can take alook at our Static IP Address guide to setup a static ip address. When you are finished setting up a static ip address, please come back to this page and enter the ip address you setup in the Static IP Address box below.

Do not skip this step!

Open a web browser like Internet Explorer or Firefox. Enter the internal IP address of your router in the address bar of your browser. If you do not know your routers internal IP address please read our How To Find Your Routers IP Address guide.

In the picture above the address bar has http://www.google.com in it. Just replace all of that with the internal IP address of your router. By default the IP address should be set to 192.168.123.254.

You should see a box prompting you for your password. Enter your password now. By default your password is admin. Click the Login button to log in to your router.

Please visit our Default Router Passwords page if the username and password shown above do not work for you.

Click the Advanced button near the top of the page.

We will list a series of lines here that will show you exactly how to forward the ports you need to forward. Active Webcam requires you to forward the following ports: 100000,100001. Go ahead and enter the settings shown above into the Distributed Servers Setup menu.

When you are finished, click the Apply New Distributed Servers Setting button.

Click the Status button near the top of the page.

Click the Restart Router button near the bottom of the page.

And that is it! You are done!

To test if your port has been properly forwarded, you can use our Port Checker tool.
