I downloaded an app called IP Webcam so that I can use my android phone as a wireless IP camera. The app has a command button "Start Server". After clicking it, it tells to type *192.168.1.1:8080 in any browser in my computer. After doing that I am supposed to see the live video the phone camera is taking onto the brower. But it is not working. The phone advises to check Port Forwarding in my router which is Prolink h5301g. I don't know to configure. Please help me
