That should fix most or all of your problems. If it doesn't, try using a different port (some ISPs now block 8080). I believe that Internet access is required for the free license to work correctly.

By: MelvinG Rank: Magna Cum Laude Topics: 661 From: Los Angeles, USA	Added: 10/04/2010 - 06:52 AM According to This Document, no Internet access is required for Pro. For comparison of license types and requirements take a look HERE (more accurate than me trying to answer from memory ;-) )

I'd like to know if, in your opinion, the "problem" I found with the free license "no internet connection", due to my router, can create some problems with the e-mail alert function (motion detection). Thanks.
By: MelvinG Rank: Magna Cum Laude Topics: 661 From: Los Angeles, USA	Added: 10/04/2010 - 04:22 PM I was thinking about this some more... There is actually no reason you should have to forward a port for the free license to work. Something else is wrong. Are you positive that the PC you run AbelCam on is correctly set up on the network?? E.g. are Default Gateway and DNS Servers set right? Can you surf the web and send/receive email from the AbelCam machine? If not, you need to fix that before anything is going to work. If you are able to send/receive email from the machine using Outlook or Thunderbird (or whatever) then sending email from AbelCam should work. Probably the best thing for you to do is to configure the email settings in AbelCam and then use the Test button to try sending a test email to your phone. If it does not work, there is something wrong with your network setup because the email test 1) is not affected by which license you have, 2) does not require you to open any ports at the router.
