Good, this is for a ZoneMinder video system, I can use other ports of course
but I hate to have to tell people to use www.mydyndns.com:81/zm or whatever
I would prefer to just use www.mydyndns.com/zm and be done with it... But
if it has to be done so be it. I will test it out both ways at least
from what you
are saying he will be able to get into the video server from where ever he
is as long as he has reasonable network connections.
Thanks Eban. I will be testing it out soon. He lives next door to me so I am
going to add his two cameras to my system, it is open and viewable:
www.wchast.com/zm
