Sorry, after re-reading, never mind i thought you were wanting to hook two cams up. I used PCanywere, I used this to monitor my parents home when they were on vacation. PCanywere can be used in a network environment, works good. Install Host on the computer with camera, Install remote on the other computer.$89.00 smacks and your set.

Using pcAnywhere is a great idea, but WinVNC is free. I've found that pcanywhere seems to work faster over a dial-up connection, but if the computer that you need to remotely operate is on your LAN then VNC will work great. Get it here:
