How do I check network connection is reachable?

If you see "cannot find server" message, please try ipconfig or ping to check your network connection.

  • To find out the IP address of your webcam server
    On the computer where Webcam 1-2-3 or Watchdog is installed, go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories ->Command Prompt or MS-DOS

    enter ipconfig
    You'll see your current IP address. (Please note IP addresses, such as 127.0.0.1, 192.168.x.x, , 169.254.x.x or 10.0.0.x, are not accessible from Internet. You need to find out your external IP address or your router's IP address.)



    enter ping your_IP_address
    Ping your IP address from Internet or WAN. If you see "Request time out", you may enter the wrong IP address or the network connection is broken.
