I don't know about rogers@home but my ISP requires that only one nic, for which they know the MAC address, is used to connect to the cable modem. >(I know my Roger's IP address, net mask, gateway.

Will it be available to the public? Try to make it as good as this one: http://www.thebiginter.net/webcam_main.htm# John.
