    Can you be more specific what you want to do actually?

    But, by just reading your thread, what sweetdreamz said is true. Get a wireless webcam. And if you find the signal is weak because of the distance, you can purchase WIFI extender to solve the problem.

    Lmfao, why do you need to be able to turn on the webcam in the living room from a remote location? Are you planning an American Pie scene?

    Anyway, the only way it could be done is if you set up VPN access to the computer in your living room. This requires that both your PC and your laptop are under the same home network, and both computers are set to allow VPN connections.

    The simplest way to get this done is to have MSN Messenger activated on both computers, and request remote access to and from each other.

    I really want to know why you want this set up...is this Jason Briggs?
