I recently set it up to have static IP for security cameras. For some reason, I'm able to browse the net from this computer, but no one else can see it. I try pinging from the computer and get 0% loss and from any other computer get 100% loss. HELP!!!!!!!!

The static IP address you used, is it routable? If it is a 198.162.x.y or a 10.x.y.z, then it may not be, and this could be one problem. Your router will likely be getting the address from the ISP, you are then likely connecting one or several computers to the router. The router will be doing NAT to allow multiple computers using these private addresses to talk to the internet, but, unless you move your computer to a DMZ segment, or create a static route, NAT will not allow internet access to any of the computers behind the router. If the cameras are all behind the router, then, you should be able to connect to all of them if they all have addresses that are on the same subnet - 198.162.1.2-10 for example. If you are trying to get to the computer from the internet, then you will likely want to have a firewall router with VPN capability. Then, you just VPN into the box, and viola! Otherwise, anyone on the internet could get to your box and I don't think this is what you want. Good luck!

Check and see if you connect to the internet by bypssing the Linksys Router. If so then the most likely problem is with a setting on the router. If you cannot connect to the internet your internet connection is probably down. Unplug power from your modem and router. Plug your modem in first wait for the DSL light to go solid. Then plug in the Linksys. Also do not logon to the Linksys using IE use Firefox. IE makes the router crash.

By default, the router also acts as a firewall. It blocks in-bound traffic unless you set up port-forwarding. There is a tab for enabling port-forwarding. You will need to know the IP address of the computer/camera/whatever, and what port(s) you want people to see, and then configure that under the section (in the router administation page) for port-forwarding.

Did you try opening the DMZ? Try that.
Also try connecting the other system through the pc that works. Use that computer as a gateway to see if the net works from other pcs. If that works at least you'll know it's not the nic in that pc.
Any reason why you aren't going to use the dhcp for assigning your I.P. Addresses for each of your security cams? Speaking of DHCP. Did you disable the dhcp on the router?
Instead of using a Static IP did you consider using dhcp with port forwarding?

Sounds like your router is blocking the connection. You need to find out what port the camera is using and go to port forwarding on the router. Once you've done that it should work.
I'm a bit concerned for you that you aren't running a personal firewall on your computer. Your router can only do so much for you.

If I understood the last sentence, the PC with the problem can ping the othere, but they can not ping it. Sounds like something in the firewall setting in the first PC may be preventing it from talking out. Test it by turning off the firewall and see if you can ping it.

Marqus,
Ok... We need more info. here...
Is your camera attached to the pc via USB?
Is it a stand alone camera that can be accessed via the IP address? Have you checked your configuration on your LInksys router? You may have to add the IP address for the camera/computer to your router and have it available on the Internet via a specific port number.
P.S. I would be reticent to open up a "computer" to the Internet unless your box is hardened and all ports are secured.
Good luck.

Try disabling your firewall if you have one installed. I had the same problem, and instead of using McAfee firewall, I switched to the firewall built into Windows and it works like a charm! Hope this helps!!

Hi,
If you are using Windows 98/ME, then you need to enable Netbios.
Firewall does play a crucial role. May be you need to change a few settings in your firewall and/or lower your security settings in Firewall to enable other computers to view this computer.
If you are using Windows XP, then if its Windows XP Home Edition, then you need to enable Classic File Sharing and activate Guest Account.

Maybe you haven't created an exception for it on your firewall and it's being blocked?
Or maybe the settings on the computer are set for it to not be seen on the network?
