M> I don't have port 8080 turned on for forwarding on the router.
Give it a try now.

CM> Got a nice picture of a chair.. :-)

I see:

Here's a variant hack. Copy the HTML code below to a file. It
works on my machine, pulling the live image from your machine,
and wrapping it in some (bogus) text. It should work well posted
on your machine as a sub-page. Or post it as the index page on
your webcam vHost.

 I think we are a little off track here. 
 webcam.ackerman-family.com points to port 80 via the DNS. 
 <hr>
 Your confusion is understood, I was there once myself. 
 DNS has nothing to do with ports, it only serves to 
 translate a name to an IP address.</font>

--- Disadvantage: it refreshes the whole page every 10 seconds,
when only the image has changed. If the text were longer and you
scroll to read it, the page jumps back to the top every 10
seconds. A Frame layout might cure that.
