I just learned a bunch from you guys about this port stuff.

I just set up a webcam a few weeks ago so I can check outside the house while away......I just typed in my IP address and it was there. I just discovered the whole world could also.

Also UpNp was enabled, so I just shut it off.

JUST now I went into the router and assigned the outside camera to another port . Now it is private unless I give out the port number. THANK YOU for helping me with this also. I knew nothing about ports before.

Thank the lord I did not have it in the house.

Thank You for this help you all gave.
