    Webcam Broadcasting? Please Help!

    ahhh, man, I'm having some serious confusions here. Alright, 4 computers, 3 are networked in an office

    comp 1: desktop, winxp, networked at office
    comp 2: desktop, win98se, networked at office
    comp 3: desktop, win98se, networked at office
    comp 4: laptop, win2k, nonnetworked at home


    I bought 3 logitech webcams, set 2 up at the office, one on the XP comp and the other on the 98se comp.

    Since they were networked, I opened up netmeeting, clicked place call, and simply typed in the computer name on the network and it connected, no probs.


    Except now, I need to be able to connect the same way through netmeeting to the 2 comps from home. I tried going by IP Address, but it didn't work. And using the directory thing, I'm competely confused.

    I've read on some other sites that I need to be logged onto an ILS server under "Directory."

    Right now it's set at "Microsoft Internet Directory"

    okay, how can I connect to the other computer, just a one on one?

    would I need to get the hostname, like AMD900.pacbell.net/[email protected] ?

    And could I just do it like that, or would I need to still configure an ILS server, and is there an official ILS server used by Microsoft?

    aiiiiiieeeee, so frustrated and confused.

    thank you!

    to connect more than one computer you need to go to Call -> Host Meeting
    If your sig is longer than your post then type more.
