Today I tried for the first time to view the webcam at my house from my office. I put into Firefox the IP address of my house and there it was! A hazy picture of the desk in my bedroom! I must say I was surprised. A lot of this stuff doesn't work until you've spent hours trying to figure out what little thing you did wrong........
So that's a victory.
Two lines from my config are below. The 2nd nat command forwards the webcam to the outside world. The first nat statement is what makes nat work in general on my home network. It seems like they would interfere with each other, but apparently they don't....
ip nat inside source list 23 interface FastEthernet4 overload
ip nat inside source static tcp 10.10.10.5 80 75.66.88.84 80 extendable
But of course not everything on my home network works. Right now Mozy won't backup every 2 hours or so like it's supposed to. In the little Mozy popup screen it says "No network connection found" or something ominous like that. It used to work fine. According to the firewall help at the Mozy website, you have to open port 443 in the outbound direction on your firewall. I use the Commodo firewall on the computer that Mozy's on. Also I have a Cisco 871 wireless router with kick-ass access lists on it as the gateway to my Comcast cable Internet service. So I've got to figure out which firewall is stopping Mozy.... The weird thing is that if I click "Backup now" on the Mozy popup screen, it works fine. So why won't it work when I'm not there......

If you go to Mozy configuration and check the option to “Attempt automatic backups even if network connection is not detected” you should be good to go.
Good luck!
