No packets sent to IP camera

I have installed ZoneMinder v1.23.3 on Mandriva 2008.0. My camera is a Trendnet TV-IP100 network camera and no password is set so it doesn't require authentication. Zoneminder appears to run properly when accessed at
http://127.0.0.1/zm/ through Firefox.
I entered the camera's IP address, and set "Remote Host Path" to "/VIDEO.CGI". In Options/Network I checked the box for "Are you going to use remote/networked cameras (?)". I still get no video image whatsoever in ZoneMinder, even through Firefos can access the camera's image just fine.
A Wireshark packet capture shows packets on the network when accessing the TV-IP100 from Firefox, but ZoneMinder is not putting any packets on the network.
What might be wrong with my installation?

I found two log files that may hold the clue to solving this problem. Here are excerpts from each file.
