When I view my camera on my phone (Treo 750, Windows mobile). I usually don't get images. If I click on montage, if I'm lucky, I see two of the four cameras show up (usually I only see 0 or 1). The other two show up as squares with a red x in them.
If I click on a camera, I have to reload about 4-20 times to get an actual image.
What I guess is that it is grabbing the image, but it vanishes before it can get it all. Is there any timeout value I can tweak?
If I do it from my LAN (with the ?format=xhtml at the end of the url) it works like a charm.

When viewing with xhtml on my phone, images seldom load.
update... kind of, but not really.
If I manage to view it on my phone not in xhtml format (?format=html) then it still does not look right... just get that big enpty box with an x looking at me.
tried turning on extended debugging, but I really didn't see anything more then I usually do. Maybe I did something wrong.

That's odd; I've never had problems with PIE on WM5/6. Does it work on another computer outside your LAN? That would isolate it to the phone. I just tested mine and it works fine (hadn't tried it since upgrading to 1.23.3 on Ubuntu 7.10).
As an aside, I like James Wilson's ZM4PPC; it's fantastic for pocket PC use. You have to use ZM's built-in auth for real one-click access, but you get to see the live stream which is great.

I did see something weird - the IP addresses you xxx'ed out...they change an awful lot! I could see .14 and .16 as being proxies, but .248? They're all over the map. Seems very unusual to me, but maybe it has nothing to do with it. It could explain your problem, though:
ZM_AUTH_HASH_IPS
Whether to include IP addresses in the authentication hash
"When ZoneMinder is running in hashed authenticated mode it can optionally include the requesting IP address in the resultant hash. This adds an extra level of security as only requests from that address may use that authentication key. However in some circumstances, such as access over mobile networks, the requesting address can change for each request which will cause most requests to fail. This option allows you to control whether IP addresses are included in the authentication hash on your system. If you experience intermitent problems with authentication, switching this option off may help."
Maybe try turning off that option and see if it helps.

xhtml issues
I noticed that too... I think it must be how my wireless provider does it...
It works everywhere else that I've ever tried it.
Just put a new browser on my phone, minimo, and it seems to work fine... so, I guess it's a browser issue.
(I take that back, it will work the first time, then after that, it is like it doesn't even try to load images)
Where do you get the zm4ppc, I'd like to try that.

Does it work when you change the IP address hash option in "options"? I edited my post with more specifics about the IP address issue but may have done so after you responded.
You can get ZM4PPC within that thread I linked; read the whole thread, the most recent version and the correct format for the setup file are on one of the inner pages, unfortunately; there are a couple different downloads but the "latest" is in there somewhere. If you can't figure it out, let me know.

Glad it worked. You had it set because it's the default - at least on mine it is, and I've never changed it...I use cLaunch with 32x32 icons on my today screen so I can launch ZM4PPC with one press on the today screen. Great for quickly checking on things.
Strange that your IP address changes so much with each request. I'm used to seeing proxies bounce between a couple of very similar addresses (with the last octet changing by 1 or 2), but nothing quite like that. With Verizon, mine stays the same for each connected session.
