Problem using multiple router forwarding ports

I am using a Linksys router (WRT110) for the LAN and have successfully connected the Net server to it and can access it via the internet after activating 'port forwarding" in the router and using port 80. I also have a web cam that I can access on the same port (different LAN IP address) But, I can't seem to figure out how to access each on different ports? I have tried to set port 81 for one or the other but when I add ":81" onto the end of the external IP address, it does not work.
Summarized:
Camera: local IP 192.168.1.30 works
PNS: local IP 192.168.106 works
Camera: External IP 64.92.149.60 (using Port 80internal IP .30) works
PNS: Ext IP 64.92.149.60 (using Port 80-internal IP .106) works
Camera: External IP 64.92.149.60 (using port 81-internal IP .30) does not work
PNS External IP 64.92.149.60 (using port 81-internal IP .106) does not work

Any suggestions?

Thanks

It's probably doing "Port Forwarding" not "Port Forwarding and Port Mapping".

The router receives a packet for ( Ext IP ) 64.92.149.60:81 and forwards that on to (Camera) 192.168.1.30:81 or (PNS) 192.168.1.106:81. Unless the camera and/or PNS are on port 81 they won't receive the packet.

Looking at the following page it should be possible to setup what you need ...

I'd guess set External Port to 81, Internal Port to 80.

Hippy,
As usual, you came through! After fiddling around with the settings in the camera and the router, I was able to access each, both locally and over the Internet.

Thanks again!
