Strange behaviour
I have some IP Cameras outside my LAN which stream video with java applet.
I can succesfully connect to all of them, exept with one of them. The cameras are of the same brand (Trendnet) although not of the same model. First I thought that the camera somehow was damaged, but here comes the strange thing.
When I test the camera inside it's own LAN (not mine) it works, more, when I connect to it from another location (again not mine) it works, only when I connect to from my location it won't.
Any one can help with such issue?
Thank you Toni

You lost me there.
There's probably a firewall somewhere which is blocking traffic. I suggest contacting the IT/networking people of the LAN you're not able to connect to, since this has little to do with Java.

Hmm, the IT people. Coincidently I am the IT People :). Somehow I think this is a Java issue and that is why.
This Camera used to work once as it was suposed to do. It can stream video in Java mode or with ActiveX. Now I can't receive from it in Java Mode, only with ActiveX. That's why I think this is Java related.
But as I mentioned before I discovered that pretty strange behaviour. When you connect to this camera inside it's own Lan it can stream in Java. So I thought, as you did, got to be sth. wrong with the router. I tested. I tried to connect to it from the outside (not in my location anyway) and ... it worked! So it is not a problem with the router on that LAN.
So, I am out of ideas, can't figure out what it could be. Does java uses any timeout control, or port configuration?
The only thing that remains for me is to try a firmware upgrade for the device, but I need to go there, and do the thing at the place.
Thanks, Toni

Then contact the people who wrote the software that talks to your webcam. I don't see how anyone could answer you with the information provided. Sorry.
