What you have to type is your IP-adrress followed by the port you configured in Yawcam.
This should be something like http://[My_IP_address]:[My_Streaming_port]/
As an example : http://83.250.106.12:8080/ (this is no real address just an example)
You can find those by pushing the What's my URL? button in the "Help menu".

Yawcam -> Main window



What's my URL? - Displays the address where you and other people can see your webcam.

Info found at the Yawcam - Online help pages

thanks for that help
i am begging to uderstand it more now
i have found my url and opened the ports as advised
i can check the "am i online" and its all ok
i can see the cam from within my network for streaming and stills
ie http://82.18.209.187:8081/
but neither outside of my network
ie http://192.168.11.4:8081/

From what i can see,
It's OK.
This is a screen i took of your webcam.

http://82.18.209.187:8081/ ?

See the thread : Interesting streaming problem on this forum.

You will probably not be able to see your webcam on the public address when you are behind/inside your own router. But if the "Am I online?"-function reports that everything is okey, it should be possible for other people to see your webcam on the public address.

I think this answers your question.
