Question

OK..... I've got a camera, XP (pro) and a broadband connection (dynamic IP address).

Anyone know how I can set it ip so that I can broadcast - namely watch it whilst I'm at work ?

Hi S55, im not too hot on this but obviously your pc would have to be switched on, prior to going to work.
You can obtain/configure software that will work pc to pc;
but i expect your IT system at work may block the ports required
for this to work via their firewall.
ie for netmeeting etc
The probable solution would be to get software that will load your cam images up to a website that will host this for you.
You would then be able to view this as a normal website.
My free downloads solution page at www.davecentral.com has
been disbanded, so i cant help you with suggestions.
Try some searches on google m8.
If i find any i'll let you know

hang on here's one, havent tried it, but it may be a solution.

Code to setup Webcam

Follow the instructions on this site and you can get your own webcam site. However, the camera software has to be able to upload your live feed to your free internet webspace using a file transfer protocol (ftp). Good Luck
