I am trying to port forward from my router to the machine hosting NCS so the broadcast can be viewed externally. I then have a web page that would have an embedded stream from external ip address using the http code from NCS.
Using hostname of machine for the port forward does not work as the broadcast cannot be seen externally. I cannot forward to localhost or 127.0.0.1 as these would be the router itself.
All of this works perfectly in WebcamXP but does not in NCS. Strictly speaking, I would expect the port forward to work as it should be opening up to the machine hostname and connecting directly to the port the service is running on so I am at a loss. The only difference I see between the two apps is the actual presentation of the webserver.
Ideally, the presentation should be like this:
