Re: IP camera not working
The problem is, in order to access your LAN you need to be able to forward the appropriate traffic from the device with the public IP to the camera. In this case the ISP controls the device with the public IP. It is unlikely they will be willing to set up port forwarding to your router for you.
VNC would have the same issue. Another option however might be to set up a VPN that requires not port management, such as Hamachi which is also free. This would give you access to a desktop PC on the LAN. If the PC ran Remote Desktop or VNC, you could connect to it, and from there view your camera. Details regarding Hamachi can be found here:

Re: IP camera not working
if your camera has now this IP xxx.xxx.x.x you need to change your computers IP adress also to fit xxx.xxx.x.x - (x other than 1) then you can access your cam through your web browser and change it to a different IP which fits your local network. Give it a try.
In Germany or Europe I can name you a service who can upload a firmware to this cam even if it is not accessable any longer. But you would have to send it in.
Re: IP camera not working
1. Set your router to forward port 80 to the server.
2. Ask your ISP if they block "servers." Some do.
