Thanks Jay for the clarification.

Still a little strange though... from time to time I get one out of my 3 webcams images over 3G... but not always the same one...seems the hotel network is blocking stuff irregular? Is that possible?

Sorry for the late response.

I connected 1 macbook directly to the hotels network.
This is what I found:

On autoconfig: does not work at all, on the bottom I get "error: UPnP 0  NAT-PMP 3,-7,61. But on the top of the window it say connected to server?

Not on autoconfig: I do not get any error, on the top of the window it say connected to server, but on my iphone through 3G no connection. I DO notice that, just above the autoconfig checkbox, I see "Num connected: 1" appearing when I open the app on my iphone. I do not get an image though.

Puzzled.... any further clues?
Thanks
Johan

Yes, does the same when the PC is wired directly into the D link 655. Nothing to be seen when I go on 3G network.

Since I live in a "screened" environment (United Arab Emirates, Dubai) where the internet is blocked for offensive sites, I tried to engage tunnelblick on my Macbook (my VPN connection), but to no avail. Still does not show my cams on 3G... apart from very rarely just 1...

Sigh....??

Hi Jay,

Looked up my time capsule settings and teh connection sharing was already in OFF... it says "brideg mode".
Still, when I activate autoconfig, I get the message "UPnP Dual NAT ext_ip: 172.16.10.30"
Also, when I activate autoconfig it does not work at all anymore...!

When I go on 3G, most of the time I don't see anything, but sometimes it connects to 1 camera only... so it is a  bit erratic on 3G...
Any other idea?

Hi,

I have been reading the forum for a solution, but difficult for me since I am not very adept with computers.
On my Wifi connection icam works just fine with my 3 webcams, but not on 3G / Edge.
Looking through all the wonderful advice here, I think I discovered the problem, just need some extra help resolving it...
This is my setup:

- I am living in a hotel apartment, that allows only 1 concurrent login to their ethernet.
- To work around this, I have installed a D-link DIR-655 wireless router which works just fine, I gave in the hotel login once and voila, all MAC's & PC are on the net. I have an old IBM laptop and 1 PC desktop running XP, 1 macbook pro and another macbook with snowleopard connected to it.
- Recently, I have installed time capsule for my backups. In order to keep the login of the hotel working, I had to connect it to my DIR-655 as wired ethernet extension, so I have AND my D-link wireless working AND my time capsule wireless (All PC's are connected to the time capsule,  mac's and IBM wireless, PC desktop direct ethernet).

So it seems quite obvious; I have a dual NAT something, and it also shows that when in Icamsource I check the autoconfig, I get the message "UPnP Dual NAT ext_ip: 172.16.10.30"

According to your support page, I now need to put the router of my time capsule in "bridge" mode somehow...?

Only problem is, I don't have a clue how to do that exactly. I am not at all adept with UPnP, DHCP and all that stuff...

Any suggestion more than welcome!

Thanks a lot

Johan

New to the icam fans, started using it today and what a great product!
Tried to rename my cameras, but in the preference view the name that was automatically given is greyed out, I can not edit it?
How can I overcome this?

Thanks!
Johan
