Unable to access an external static IP (beyond router) to tap webcam video.

Asked by videocast in Computer Web Cameras, Networking Hardware Firewalls, WInsock

Tags: Ping Time-Outs on Static IP Check, Webcam, Firewall,

I successfully installed webcam software (Yawcam) but if I remotely enter my static IP I am unable to connect to the streaming image online. There is no port forwarding on my Zyxel hard-wired modem/router, and no ports are blocked. There is no UPNP option. The image is viewable from the internal client but not from any external source.

Windows (XP) Firewall is disabled.
AVG Antivirus is disabled.
Norton Removal Tool was run to scrape any residue from a previous installation (just in case).
Port checking tools confirm that remote access is not happenin'
ISP confirms successful ping only to the router, but not the computer, and they have no solution
I ran the winsock fix http://www.snapfiles.com/get/winsockxpfix.html without success
I reset and checked network connections after running winsockxpfix
I checked the DNS
I found a possible solution online but it's a bit over my head. See:  http://tinyurl.com/5qqlnt
--Could this be a solution?
Could anyone describe this resolution on a lower level for me...I'm a non-scholar.
