Hi...for quite a while I have had a raspberry pi based weather cam running on Weewx. This camera is one of several which uses MotionEye and goes over Wifi to another RasPi acting as a LAN based camera "server". When I connect to my home network, the camera shows up perfectly under Weewx. The problem is when I pull up Weewx on another network, the camera is not there. I am sure it is a port forwarding problem, but I have tried many combinations of IP address and ports and so far have been unsuccessful. I should add that it worked fine until recently. Has anyone else had similar problems and have any pointers?
Thanks.

You'd have to check your skin to refresh your memory re: what URL you are trying to access.

If your link is trying to access an IP address that is on your LAN, that certainly is not going to work from Internet no matter what you do for port forwarding.
