I'm getting the following error after logging into the webview software.
Error Occured: Can't connect socket: Operation timed out I've shut down my
firewall and have configured my Router to forward the appropriate port (8888
thru 8888) as specified in webview settings. All my cameras are working and
multiview is dumping images. Also, webview show me connected and sharing
images. I can't seem to figure out why this is happening. I also tried to
forward the port using my Routers IP address instead of my main PC IP
address that webview is running on. Please help because this is great aside
from this problem. I'm running a netgear router on Comcast service. Thanks!

I have used Webview and Multiview for several years. It is the
flackest, most error prone, and frustrating package I have ever used.
Nevertheless, when it works, it does exactly as advertised. I have
people all over the world watching my webcams. I have spent hours
with the X10 help desk trying to get mine to stay running. One
suggestion you might try. Don't ask why, but change your password on
the initial webview page to a new value, then change your password
back to what you had originally. This works most of the time.
Good luck,
