If I have 2 PC's in the house both running XP and one of them has a webcam...can I activate and use the webcam from the other PC? |

I'd try Remote Desktop first. It's built into the OS (aka free), and I've had decent luck with it. We've got a PC at work set up to monitor the security cameras, and my clients can Remote Desktop into it and the video is surprisingly fluid on a 10/100MB network. |

You can do this with the Windows Media Encoder, I do it all the time: Stream a Webcam with WME | Computer Advice |

It gives me an error of: "the network domain/workgroup does not contain any Terminal servers." Don't stress over it - I was just trying to learn something new... I'll try Jokers suggestion.... |

There's the easy option of network webcams, they're cheap and easy to set up. Most cams are heading in that direction, neat stuff, when the rez and signal gets better, I want to get one. I gotta find out if it's been the cats stealing my snacks. |

I got the Encoder installed and set up...but I can't seem to open it from anywhere else..... I opened the 8080 port in my firewall.... and I have no idea how to open it in the router itself.....It only give me an option for specific programs and range of ports....but I don't know what to put in it.... |

you need to go to system properties > advanced and enable remote desktop on the machine w/ the camera first. then when you run RDC give it that machine's hostname |
