How would you enter and set up Port Forwarding In the NAT Tab? Is this the correct way?

You need to do port forwarding for port 80 to your tablet ip address, in this case 182.168.1.149.

Then just access with your browser your ISP IP address and you get access to your tablet from outside world also.

It's a good idea to define a fixed IP address in your private network for your tablet, so the port forwarding rule will be always valid (your private
network may allocate different address to your tablet after some time).

When you get it working please post the port forwarding screen shot as an example for others to lear.

You can set password authentication for apache to controll who has access to camera (and server). Yes, you have also web server in your tablet
after installing apache!

There are plenty of instruction on web how to configure apache, but here couple of hints for those who are new to this and want to start run their
own server for more than IP camera:

apache turns your tablet to web server, so you can now run your own web pages. Just put your html pages
to folder /usr/htdocs/ and you can browse them.

you find httpd.conf from /etc/httpd/conf/

How do you find out your tablets IP address?

Fine, it should be enoug to have only the first definition (forward port 80 to Tablet IP). Actually there shouldn't be the second rule but obviously
it doesn't harm as your configuration is working.
Also it is enough to forward only TCP packets - UDP is not used here, but there is no harm if you forward UDP packets also (apache will ignore
them if somebory tries to send UDP packets to your tablet). You can choose TCP, UDP or Both from pull down menu.

Connect first to network, then start Connection manager
Settings -> Connection manager
Then from Connection manager menu: Internet connection -> IP address

Your ISP IP address you find normally from your router/Access Point addministaration menu as shown on mooler's posting. You may need to
do port forwarding as expained above, if your Access point has NAT (Network Address Translation) and you want to have access outside
your private network.

Weird... I can connect to the webcam, but only by using the IP address of my router. Am I doing something wrong?

Also ... all I can see is snapshots. No luck at all on live video stream or stored stream.

If you get access to html page and can see snapshots you are not doing anything wrong.

If you don't have luck with video stream, you propably try it with IE browser that requires some extra stuff to play mjpg streams.
Try it with Firefox and you see the stream.

Describe your network situation briefly, please, in as much technical detail as you feel comfortable with.

Thanks Benson. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think I'll pass. I'm not going to be on this network for long, and will bounce around quite a bit. And, really, this capability is not that important to me. I was just hoping this could easily be tweaked to yield the same user-friendly functionality as the ole peekaboo app.-- Thanks again!
