It worked... and now doesn't?

My cam was working absolutely fine before... I turned it off, on, etc many times... And today I wake up, turn it on, and I get nothing in the applet. It doesn't even say "loading..." when the page is loading and the cam is on. Usually it does. What happened? I can view it on my private IP, but the IP I have configured for everyone else to see the cam on... won't even bring up the page.... I don't know what happened!

Someone PLEASE help... This is really starting to aggrivate me. It was working perfectly fine, I never touched or changed a thing, and it will not work now.

It should be streaming here: http://68.41.229.233:8080/

My guess is that you have a dynamic ip address that changes once in a while. When this happens your old settings will stop work.

To prevent the difficulties with a dynamic IP adderess one can use a service like http://www.no-ip.com or http://www.dyndns.org

My public IP never changes, and to my knowledge neither does my private... I have comcast cable, and our computers are hooked up through a router. I checked the IPs, and they didn't change.

Hmm.. ok. If you start the stream output again, I can see if i also get "nothing" from your applet.
