Remote web cam access

I have a web cam set up on a pc at home, running XP Pro. PC is part of a wireless network at home. Is there anyway I can view the webcam from a laptop on the network ?, I have full permissions to the box from my laptop & all drives are visible. Cheers

You could share the vide using a program like netmeeting* (there are others)
when you set it choose not to register on a server and you can choose it to autoanswer if you are sure your network is secure

* start - run - conf
