Hello
Excuse me for my english, I'm french.
1st, I love this software !!!
I have 4 PCs on a wifi lan.
1 Pc is connected to internet.
Each of the 3 others have 1 cam.
How can I see them on the internet ?
http://myip:8081 doesn't show anything...
Thank you for your help
Lan, 3 cams, How to see them on internet ?
So, how are your computers connected to eachother? Via a router or a switch/hub?
My guess from your description is that your network looks like this:
[Internet] -> [Computer #1] -> [Switch] -> [3 Computers]
And that your computer #1 shares internet to the other computers.
Is this correct?
You should first start by just trying to get one camera running over the Internet and when this works you can add the others.
But first I need to know how your network looks like before I can give you anymore help.

What you will have to do is to forward one port on your computer #1 for every "webcam computer". First of all you should try get one camera running with the default port number (8081).
How you forward a port depends on what operation system and internet sharing software you use on computer #1.
Do you use Windows XP with the built-in internet sharing?

Ok, I have never used this myself but I searched in google and think I found a solution.
1) Double-click Network Connections in Control Panel.
2) Right-click the Internet connection (which is also the connection where ICS is enabled), and then click Properties.
3) On the Advanced tab, click Settings.
4) Click Add.
5) Fill in the Service Settings form as follows:
** Description of Service: Yawcam
** Name or IP: <IP address of your computer #2>
** Protocol: TCP
** External Port number for this service: 8081
** Internal Port number for this service: 8081
Click OK to complete the configuration, and then click OK to exit the Advanced Settings dialog box.
(This was copy & paste & modified from http://support.microsoft.com/default.as ... -US;309524 )
I just realized that you will have to use static ip addresses in your local network. Otherwise you will get problems. Do you already use static ip addresses? Do you need help to change to static ip addresses?
For the record: The port number 8081 is the default port number used in Yawcam. The easiest way is to use different ports for every computer in your local network if you want all webcams to be visible on the Internet.
I'm going away for a trip tomorrow and will not be back until Monday. So I will not be able to answer any questions during the weekend.

Now you have redirected a port to one of the computers where yawcam runs.
Your next step would be to look in the FAQ and follow the description from point 2) in the question: "I was told to see FAQ in the stream settings, why?".
In other words... these steps:
Then you should have to webcams running...
Now repeat a third time to get the last webcam up and running.
Good Luck!

In other words... these steps:
Hopefully you now got one camera running. Then it's time to repeat the whole process but with a different port number and redirect the port to your other "yawcam computer".2) Visit http://www.whatismyip.com to see what your public ip-address is.
3) In the stream settings (settings -> edit settings -> stream) select "Advanced" and type in your public address in the field "Force public ip".
4) Enable the stream output in the main window. Now you should be visible to others over the Internet on the url
http://your-public-ip:8081/
Note that you can't see yourself on this address. You have to use your local address and add local.html. Like this:
http://your-local-address:8081/local.html
Then you should have to webcams running...
Now repeat a third time to get the last webcam up and running.
Good Luck!

Hi
i have the same question kind
i develop a simple network using router and switchs here is the images of my project
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
*^^^ what i'll do is
set up the router as a port-fowarding
[port name] [port # "from"] [Type of Protocol "UDP"] [port # "to" [ computer IP ]
each computer that has a web-cam need to have the script for broadcasting in this case YawCam.
* i was thinking on that while i was writing......
any more ideas ?????
