I have a webcam and I want to be able to spy on Hermy while I am at work :D.
I signed up at this site www.webcamxp.com
To see the camera, I use my laptop. To have the internet on my laptop, I have a router (the internet is connected to my fiance computer). the problem is, it does not work, I am never able to see Hermy from another computer (I can only see it from my laptop and from my fiance's computer). We called the 1-800 number of our router's company. The girl tried to fix the problem, but it still does not work. I spoke with one of my colleague (he is very good with computer) and he told me that it is almost imposible to broadcast something because I have a router and it is one of his fonction (to make it imposible to broadcast a webcam).
Does anyone of you know if it is possible?
I am so not good with the computers so I am clueless on what should I do.
Thanks :D

Isa, don't be surprised. I am sure my dogs have a party while I'm at work. I think they are inviting the next door neighbors cats, she has dozens. When I come home from work my chair (a big overstuffed thing) is moved a few inches as well as another smaller chair and sometimes my coffee table. I think they are dancing in the livingroom. LOL

You need to have it hosted on your home network (if you have one). I had a friend set it up so I don't know anything further than that. Sorry!
