web cam question

Ok, I have a web cam that I am going to install on my upstairs PC....which is connected to a PC on the same network two floors down....

Is it possible, and if so how, can I watch what the webcam is seeing on the upstairs PC? Can I 'stream' the pictures over the network to the downstairs PC? Record it? Thanks!
 
You could just run netmeeting with the webcam connected. Windows XPs remote desktop would also work to actually see everything that is happening with the camera. I am sure others will have plenty of methods.

Also...you need to remove the extra http://
from your MyRigs to make it easily accessible.

Personally I had a lot of trouble getting Netmeeting to run.

Try Birimsoft's webcam. It broadcasts via HTTP to your local IP. Very easy to use and very convenient.
