Please read the "Help" files on the Yawcam site. Then ask questions using complete sentences with punctuation.

Cumulus doesn't know anything about webcams, and it doesn't give you a URL. You set up your webcam page, and then you give Cumulus the URL so it can include it in the navigation bar on the standard pages.

Looks like you've changed it from when it was working and now it's broken. You have 192.162.1.8888 in the link, and that's never going to work.

Working OK again now with this: http://86.129.134.107:8888/

It may break if your IP address changes, though, assuming that's your own (dynamic) address.

Not working at present but you won't be able to see it using http://86.129.134.107:8888/ as that is your own IP address. You will only be able to see it using your local address 192.162.1.something:8888 - whatever address you have assigned to the camera locally.
