Why can't I view my webcam remotely?

Question

When I am logged in at home with my webcam on and my second screen name authorized to view the webcam without permission and I try to access the webcam from work using my second screen name I get the following message - "A network error occurred while connecting to the server". Is this a problem with my home computer which is connected directly to the internet or my work computer which is connected through a server and then to the internet?

Make sure that you have the correct ports open on your firewall or router.
