If you are using a router between your computer and the Internet you will need to forward some ports on the router to make your webcam visible for others on the Internet.
Yawcam can do this forward automatically with the help of UPNP. Yawcam actually tires to do this forward as default even if you don't have a router between your computer and the Internet.
If you are directly connected to the Internet, Yawcam will not find a UPNP device to forward ports on and the message "UPNP: Could not find any UPNP devices!" will be printed in the console.

You can disable the option to look for UPNP devices in Yawcam' settings though. Click "Settings -> Edit settigns... -> Connection" and uncheck the option "Use UPNP to open ports on router".
