The last number is between 1~255 and it’s unique on this network.
2. Subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

port forwarding on router for your camera.
Port forwarding is mostly on Port Forwarding or Virtual Server section of router’s administration page, it’s up to different routers.
Step 3:
The port is forwarded or not can be test on http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/

Step 5:
Try to remotely access your camera via Internet with Domian name+port number. eg. Http://ab1234.myfoscam.org:8094 to login.
Note: Some routers do not allow loop back. You can not access your camera within your LAN when using the Domain name/WAN IP+port number. Please try accessing your camera out of your home network.
