Remote webcam control
hi, my friends dad wants to control his web cam from his PC downstairs witch is connected with his PC upstairs by LAN connection.

how can you control this web cam from downstairs?
Both PC's have win xp home on it and are connected true LAN.

We have tried it before but the downstairs PC off course cant find the web cam cause it isn't connected to this PC but the one upstairs. when we launch the program for web cam on the upstairs PC by the downstairs computer it still searches its usb and comm ports from his own and then cant find it.

Any help would be welcome and thanks on forehand

There are currently wireless cameras available from most major networking manufacturers that assign it an IP address and can be accesses from any web browser.

There was a program I saw once for doing this. I will look through my favorites and see if I can find it.
