Reconnect?? no changes all the same error!!!
Check if you have OV511 driver selected in web config. The green LED on the webcam must be permanently shining in case the webcam is properly initialized. Usually it does not work after the warm reboot (the LED just flashes and stay blank). In most cases you can make the camera working if you disconnect it and plug it again while the router is still in operation.
yes the driver is correct, the led is always on not flashes, and still cant connetc to server said the error msg.....i tried several times disconnect the webcam but apears always the same error :( :( :(
OK. It seems you don't have the web browser security set in accordance to router's manual. Check the browser settings (ActiveX controls and plug-ins section).
My Philips ToUcam II (pcvc820) is having same problems as the Webcam Creative 3; getting 'couldn't connect to server'
Whats wrong?
I have a Creative PC-Cam 300 and gives me the same error.
I get the same problem with a trust Spcam 300S. Nothing seems to allow it to work
did you read the user manual too ?Quote:

Antiloop - so you have your webcam working? I don't understand what you mean by put your websetup at port 80. Where do I set this?Quote:

I have done all the IE changes listed in the manual. Firmware is 1.7.5.9-5 (need that because of Bigpond connection)
Looking forward to your help.

It had something to do with it in a certain version, dunno whatfor anymore
I have a Logitech Quickcam Pro 3000 connected to my ASUS wl500g running ASUS Firmware version 1.9.2.7.
Everything related to the webcam functionality is set up right.
Webcam is available from LAN as streaming video in color (activex).
However, from the internet, using the same PC / Client, I get a black videoimage and the errormessage "Cannot connect to server". If I press the option "refresh" I get still pictures from the webcam that refreshes every 3 seconds, but only in black/white and not streaming video.
I have read through this forum and found a lot of threads about it - some related to the problems described above, but no solutions :-((.
Does anyone actually succeeded in setting up a webcam with the WL500g where the activex thing works (in color) from the internet ??
Or does one of you experts here know what I might try to get this working?

Search for Palantir.
I´m running a webcam on my router. Now I try to monitor the surveillance from a computer that is connected to the router. On that computer I have a clear streaming video in my internet explorer. After that I installed a motion detection software but what is the source of the camera.
What settings are needed to watch the streaming video in the motion detection software?
Any suggestions?
As of what I understood from your message (and baring the routers doc in mind), the camera is attached to the router using USB. Your browser uses a small piece of software (automatically transferred by the router) that displays the picture using Active-X-Control. Alternatively it displays the picture as a normal JPG-file.
If you now install a piece of software (your motion detection stuff) on your computer, that software requires to "talk" directly to a camera. But your camera is NOT attached to your computer but to the router. AFAIK "transparent" handling of the routers USB-port towards you computer is not in any way implemented (and I don´t think it will ever become).
Thus you quite likely will not have any success at all, except of course, connecting the camera directly to your computer rather than to the router.
But if your motion detection software either has a built in webserver or communicates with a webserver you may setup a transparent routing of WAN-port 80 to port 80 of your computer (supposedly port 80 of your computer is the webserver listening to). That of course requires to have the camera attached to your computer!
Hopefully I got the right point. Good luck!
Hello everyone,
Today i bought my Asus WL-500G router, and its working fine. I also connected a Philips webcam (vesta pro) that is also working fine in the preview section of the asus router.
How can i make it visible on the internet so i can view the cam from an other location. I am a newbie in this..
I suppose i have to be in:
-NAT Setting > Virtual Server > Choose HTTP
Port range Local IP Local Port Protocol Protocol No. Description
80 ?? 7776 ? TCP ???? HTTP Server (80)
What Url do i use to visit my webcam from another computer ??
I searched the forums here, and the asus manual but i can't seem to find the answer..
I am using firmware 1.9.4.0
Thanks for your replies :D
