Hi,

It would seem that the only way that I can get icam to work over 3g is to configure my router for port forwarding, But I have found this software for mac:-

 "Lighthouse is a dynamic port mapping utility that supports NAT/PMP (such as implemented in Apple's Airport Extreme and Airport Express) as well as UPnP (which is implemented in routers by companies such as D-Link, Netgear or Linksys)."

My question is could Lighthouse be configured for use with icam?

It looks like it would work fine _if_ UPNP or NAT/PMP is enabled in your router.  Unfortunately, some routers have it turned off by default.  Another possible issue is that Lighthouse would always need to be running in order for iCam to work.  It's worth trying, the worst that can happen is it doesn't work :)

If you need help configuring port forwarding in your router, send an email to support@skjm.comwith the brand/model of your router.
