I am trying to port forward with a Qwest DSL Router that is connected to my Netgear wireless router. I am just trying to put a live web cam page up but I am not sure how to port forward with 2 coneedted routers. The configuration is as follows:
Internet > Qwest DSL Modem > Netgear Wireless Modem > PC Computer
What setting should Iuse? Thank you for your help.

Without knowing the models of the equipment involved I can only give you a general answer. I'll assume both your "modems" are routing. You NAT or otherwise map an outside (public Internet) address and port on the Qwest router to the Netgear router's external address and a port. You then NAT or map this external address and port on the Netgear to an internal address and port on the PC LAN for the camera.
If the PC LAN is visible to the internal side of the Qwest, meaning the Netgear isn't NAT'ing or firewalling, you can skip port forwarding on the Netgear and NAT directly to the PC LAN address and port on the Qwest and add the necessary route.
