For ActionTec, just tell it to forward a port range of (e.g. 48374 to 48380, giving a few ports to play with).

After that you have to set the ZoneMinder software to use the same ports.

According to a snippet on the ZoneMinder website the web config is Apache2.  There are many ways to make Apache use a different port, but this is what I copied off the ZoneMinder website:
	1- backup and edit /etc/apache2/ports.conf with nano, then change both "NameVirtualHost *:80" and "Listen 80" to the new port we may need;
	2- backup and edit /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default with nano, and change "<VirtualHost *:80>" to reflect the new port;
	3- restart apache a la red hat way: "service apache2 restart"; yes, it restarted with no complains !
The last command is probably "invoke-rc.d apache2 restart" for your system.
