Camera will not work over internet (Port Fwd and DDNS Problems?) w/Apple Router

[thomamon]

I am having a major problem with a new camera I bought to watch on my dog when we are away from home for the day. I have it working over the network fine, but I can not get it to come up over the internet while I am not home.

I believe I have the Port Forwarding and DDNS set up correctly, but some some reason it will not come up. I put in the address into the web browser as suggested to see if the website would come up, but it does not. It is:

tomdyn.dlinkddns.com

In Airport I have set everything I believe I am suppose to.

Under Internet Options I have the DDNS info set up with the host name and user/pw. I have re-entered them to make sure they are correct and I get the same result.

Under Network, Port Settings I have the forwarded Port set up as well.

I have the IP Address set up from the camera along with the public and private tcp ports set.

I have reread the instructions over and over. I have a link to the directions set below in cause you care to take a look. they are not the exact settings for the Apple Router, but you get what you need here.

Does anyone have any clue what I could have set wrong here?

Thanks!

The DynDNS setup on AirPort routers is a PITA. It won't do with simple username/password. You'd be better off with another device taking care of DynDNS updates. In my case it's the D-Link NAS. But you can use DDNS updater on any computer as well.
See bullet #5 under Setup Your Dynamic Global Hostname in the AirPort or Time Capsule here (you can ignore the wide area bonjour part before that!):

PS to confirm it's the DDNS at fault with your setup, just type your public IP address into your browser!

Seems like your web address should be tomdyn.dlinkddns.com:xxxxx where xxxxx is the port number.
