Testing Video steaming from my garage

[Dag]

Let me know if you can see me...  http://127.0.0.1:86/broadcamauto.html?src=1&speed=1
Requires Windows Media Player.

[fudgie]

Hmmm... I get 'page cannot display'. But then again i'm at work.

[ArmyValker]

I've got a

Unable to connect

Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at 127.0.0.1:86.

message.

[Challenger]

Link says (error) problem loading page for me, sorry Dag!  

[gregc]

Nothing,  page not available.

[JimL]

Dag the URL you are using is called the "loopback" IP address.  The loopback will attempt to open (port 86 in this case) on each users computer that attempts to reach this site.  The only persons computer that this URL will work on is your computer.

There are 3 solutions I know to solve your problem:

(1) request a static IP address from your Internet service provider.  That may be a bit expensive if it is available.
(2) Use dynamic IP.  I use a service called TZO (http://www.tzo.com) which works very well, and it only costs about $30 US dollars/year.  If you have any question just send me an email and I will be happy to help.
(3) Go to the following website:

http://www.whatismyip.com/

It will give you your external IP address.  Replace the 127.0.0.1 with that IP address.  This will work, but it is not a permanent solution if your internet provider issues IP address via a protocol call DHCP (which it probably does since you probably don't have a static IP address).

Try to open Windows Mediaplayer
Click "File" and "Open URL address" and than copy and paste http://127.0.0.1:86/broadcamauto.html?src=1&speed=1

I can't get the link to open....

[Dag]

Hi Jim,

I do not have a static IP address.
..your email address is hidden  

If you could send me a email with your phone number, I`ll call you.

[Dag]

Lets see if Jim`s method works...

It is trying to get through...however I suspect that you might have a firewall blocking port 86 on your computer.  Do you have a firewall running?

[JimL]

Dag I found some additional information on your modem (written in English) after we got off the phone.  It appears that there is a firewall and a way to configure the portforwarding.  Following is a URL that will show where to configure this on the SpeedTouch modem.

On further investigation, I finally found the manual at the manufacturer (Thomson) website.  Page 66 deals with the issue of the firewall configuration.  Page 55 deals with application sharing (in this case the streaming application that you are running on port 86).

I hope this helps.

You will need to run JAVA

I have tried with three different computers, and it works from all of them.

[Black Pearl's Captain]

I tried on two computers here. Blank box on both. No idea about the Java settings

Dag I don't think it is a Java issue...I have multiple Java JVM's on my computer.  I took a peek at the HTML source and it appears to be having a problem resolving the following URL:

[HayHauler]

Dag, I can't ping your ip address either.  Do you have pings blocked?  I usually try to ping an address before actually trying the camera commands.
