Do you guys run your cameras on port 80 as well?

NO.  How could I with multiple dlink cams?

[Hard Harry]

Could be that the camera is picking up traffic and attempted log in and just reporting it.

Might have the ISP give you a new IP address on the modem and see what happens.

Most cable internet providers use DHCP to give out IPs. The IPs aren't assigned, so they can't give "new" ones out. The usual procedure is to change the WAN MAC address of the router and reboot the modem. This will cause the modem to think it is a new device and will be forced to assign a new IP.

To change the MAC of the router (assuming you have a EA4500) is Connectivity > Internet Settings > MAC address clone as seen in this emulator.

I assumed as much however the ISP could help him get a new one or maybe a static IP too. 

[Hard Harry]

Static IPs are usually only going to be for Business customers and/or cost money. All they have to do is change their WAN MAC address. As long as they are using DHCP and reboot the modem, the router will get a new IP. I just know what it is like to both call a ISP support and work in a ISP support; both suck. 

[FurryNutz]

Understand. I presume that the ISP can help get the WAN IP addressed changed though. We hope something can be done.

I would bet they will send OP right back to Dlink support. Can't hurt to try though. Care to wager 10 geek points?

Lets.
