Hi,

I have an iMac running Mavericks and a PC running windows 7. I installed the iCamsource on both my Mac and PC. On the iMac the Facetime camera is recognized and I am able to use the iCam app on my iPhone in both wifi and using cellelar data with no problems at all.

On the PC however, I have problems. iCamsource can find the camera and I can see the image from the camera in the iCamsource fine. But I am not able to see the camera using iCam app on my iPhone not even over wifi.

So when I open iCam, I can only see my iMac camera not the PC.

What is the problem? I disabled firwal on the PC but still no success!! I hate to do the manual port forwarding stuff specially that it worked smoothely on my iMac with zero setup why not on the PC?

I am really disappointed, that it doesn't work even over wifi!

Thank you very much for your help.

Are both computers, running iCamSource, on the same network?  Also, have you tried selecting the Auto-Config Router option in both iCamSource Preference Panes?

If you are running iCamSource(s) on more than one computer on the same network and the Auto-Config Router option does not work, then you will need to use (and forward) a separate port range for each computer. (We recommend using 12000-12100, 12200-12300, 12400-12500, etc.) - http://skjm.com/forum/index.php?topic=402.0
