I tried now with programs i found on your machine, vic-qcam and nv-qcam, and it works! The two machines I connect are on the same ethernet, same subnet, so I think mrouted shouldn't be needed in this case. One thing that might come up is running multicast applications between our two offices. The two offices are connected via a 128Kb/s link, and bridges. I assume the bridges work on "ethernet"-level, so it shold work. Well, I have to find out that myself. :-) > > > I have a program called `xfqcam' which can view the quickcam.

Extract and run. Ok, I've tried it. Works sometimes, sometimes not.. complains about not finding a camera. (?) Anyway, since I got vic-qcam and nv-qcam working, I don't have much use for xfqcam... Btw, the "vic"-program that a got from you don't have brightness/contrast controls. It´s a bit sad.. Byt, hey, it's just for tests anyway.
