Router and webcam...

I heard in a router review (specifically the USR one with a print server on
ebuyer.com £35 ish) that I would be unable to use a webcam with a router
that had a NAT firewall. Is there any truth in this and if so, is there a
workaround?

You cannot video conference but it works with MSN 6 and Yahoo messenger I
believe.
