Connect iCam Broker Server error

[netis]

Stefan - sorry for my late, because these days I am busy, I have 2 days nope sleep until now, this month my company fire some people, I don't want to be next one, sigh.

my ip is 218.13.73.242 , now. I am runing iCam source for Windows 0.3, it start capture a test camera, my username is netis. you can start analyse my packets.

I need goto my bed for take a rest, I am so tire. if you need make more analyse for my case, do you add my MSN talk about it? my MSN address is hessian@21cn.com, nickname also is "NETiS".

[Stefan]

netis - I don't see packets from your computer ... Can you try pinging the iCam Broker Server again?

Thanks ... And yes, get some well-needed rest.

[netis]

Stefan - do you need I ping now? ok, I do this.

[Stefan]

netis - Yes please, now will be fine.

[netis]

Stefan - I pinging iCam server, now, but the result is "request time out"? I use -t, it will ping iCam server until I break it.

[Stefan]

netis - Request time out? I remember before you were able to successfully ping the server ... Are you on a different computer, perhaps? The server is ping-able from different locations around the US (I just tried) so I am assuming it is being blocked by your network.

Are you going to be able to successfully ping it again?

[netis]

Stefan - it can ping now, but so funny for this, when I disable firewall in my Linksys router, the ping result is request timeout, enable the firewall it can, very funny. hehe.

[Stefan]

netis - Ok, I can see some of your pings ... Are you still running the iCamSource? If not, can you run and start it?

And can you also see if iCam works for you? Thanks.

[netis]

Stefan - well, I am runing iCamSource and it capture a test camera, when I run iCam in my iPhone, it also notify me connect iCam Broker Server error, do I stop ping request?

[Stefan]

Actually, I've only seen 6 packets come in. Were you pinging, or did you also run the nmap command? Are the pings reaching the server, or timing out?

[netis]

Stefan - already restart my iCamSource, I can see my cam in iCamSource, I did click start button, the ping result is reachable, also I refresh the iCam in my iPhine, ping is continue in my desktop.

[netis]

Stefan - here is ping result.

Stefan - I am set port forward to my desktop iCamSource listen udp port, ip: 218.13.73.242 port: 56849, I think its usefull if you can test it.

[Stefan]

netis - I do see that it is pinging, and actually the packets that I was seeing actually were from the iCamSource. There is an issue, however.

For some reason I am only receiving a very small percentage of the packets you are sending. They are going to the correct port on the server, but the source port keeps changing for some reason. If the port that you are sending data from keep changing, the server won't be able to reply to it. Not that that really matters at this point, because there is also no data in packets. Are you somehow able to remove or disable any firewalls or packet-shaping programs or devices you may have connected to your computer? Perhaps connecting it directly to your cable or dsl modem without a router involved?

I am simply unsure as to the cause of what I am seeing.

Stefan - thanks your help for my problem, iCamSource can capture my CAM, so I bough iCam, but infact it can't. I tried all of your sugguest, sigh.

I hope special custom port and address in iCam next version. Thanks!

Best Regards!
