Part of your problem is that you're behind that IP address already.

The second part of the problem is that if you're not hosting a web site on the computer you're trying to access, you're going to get the "Page Not Found" error.

Thank you for answer, but I have to tell that Im new in this, so can you tell me just quick info if my local IP of router is 192.168.1.1 and if I go to site whatismyip.com to get public IP is that Public IP = Local IP ( 192.168.1.1)? If so how can I change that Public IP = 192.168.1.20?

Maybe this question have no sense, but like I said Im new here

Follow these instructions

Then when you pull up ipconfig the IP address in the gateway section is most likely going to be the IP of your router.

The IP of your router is not the same as the IP shown on our home page.

OK Well Im new when we talk about IP and network, so I have this question, so if you can help me I'll be very very thanks

I buy IP Cam and I want to put it on internet, so that I can view with browser, so here is my situation and please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

My computer:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.65
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 216.146.XX.XX
216.146.XX.XX

IP of Cam I put static and look like this

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.70

so my question is when I go on whatismyip.com I get public IP and is that IP of my:

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1

but how can I put public IP to match my IP Cam:

IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.70


Thank you again if you can help me

Regards,
Dany

You'll need to find out what port your camera is running on. It might be 80 or 8080. Since you've assigned it a static IP (which is perfect), you'll need to forward the port (80, or 8080, or whatever your cam is using) to the .70 IP of the cam. This way all requests coming to your external IP address via port 80, 8080, etc. will redirect straight to the cam and it should work.

You won't be able to test the external IP theory from behind your router, you'll need to have a friend on a separate network test it for you.

well dont work

I dont know what Im dong wrong:

my comp:

Ethernet NIC
Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : No
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 169.254.245.23
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.0.0
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.65
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1
DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 216.146.35.35
216.146.36.36

My IP Cam:

HTTP port = 80

IP address 192.168.1.70
Subnet mask 255.255.255.0
Default router 192.168.1.1

ok...first things first.

On your computer, you show an IP of 169.x.x.x...that's an IP the computer gives itself when it cannot connect to the DHCP server. In this case, it looks as though DHCP is disabled. You can either enable DHCP or assign your computer a static IP in the 192.168.1.x range.

Second thing is....you won't be able to access your camera from a public IP from your computer. You are behind the router. Essentially, your router is not going to let you go out to come back in. That's why I said you'll need a friend to help. Or, did you get a friend to help and it's not working from their end?
