Quick one !!! desk top pc has an external add on webcam, son`s laptop has a built in webcam, using one pc via ethernet cable and one via wi-fi from same router, can we communicate via webcam from pc to pc and if so how ??

thats it !!!

Sure can, probably the best and easiest way is to both download Skype official website - download Skype free now for free calls and internet calls, register then call eachother.

Skype uses peer-to-peer technology, so the call should go directly between the machines even though the call is set up via the internet.

Must be a big house

yeah, better to use a webcam than to fire up the scooby just to get down to the other end of the house.

If you're on the same LAN, then just use Windows Live Messenger - that's what I use with my kids - saves shouting
