I need your guys help with doing something. My boss wants to be able to view a video stream from a computer at our test facility to monitor a long test they are doing out there.
We have a little pc camera hooked up to it, but when trying to figure out how he will connect to the camera we are coming to a dead end.
We would just use NetMeeting and set the host machine to "Accept all Incoming Calls" and "automatically send video stream on connect." However the internet access to the site is controlled by a router of some kind that I'm not familiar with. I'm sure there is only 1 outside IP address and multiple internal IP addresses and getting the signals to the right computer looks like a problem (since I have never dealt with the router out there).
I will probably have to figure out how to configure the NAT table to flood all the ports to this one computer (since netmeeting needs to have access to practically all of them to operate).
But my question is: are there any other programs out there that might be able to do the trick? Surely there is something better then MS NetMeeting 3.0 :)
