I have a panasonic bl-c131a. a WRT54gs linksys router and am on Hughes.net satallite with a static ip. I have set up port forwarding on my router. the camera seems set up fine but I can not view me camera from the internet. when I ping the camera it brings back my hughes.net page. Hughes net says they are not blocking anything. How can I check where my problem is? cmds? How do I check to see if port forwarding it actually working? What troubleshooting steps can I take. Panasonic has great support but says it is hughes.net. Hughes.net has terrible support but on another forum I was told that they do not block and there are others who have camera set up. Linksys looks fine. Any help is greatly appriciated.
