I have a Windows OS and have Remote Desktop. I can connect to my laptop from my desktop through the remote desktop. It's not hard to configure. I followed instructions provided by the Microsoft website.

Rick,
Use "VNC for Windows" or other VNC derivatives.
BTW, webcam output to a PC is really a continuous image acquisition, not necessarily called "video".

Thanx ccs
after trying many different vnc programs i finally found one that works decent enough and thats the radmin program if anyone is interested...most of the others would freeze frame the video.
again thanx for pointing me in the right direction....

i have been doing some research into this subject as well. there are many products on this website that may be of interest: www.svideo.com
i asked them directly what do i need to actually transmit the live video over my network and they came back with this
>> It's expensive, but thus is what you need;
1 encoder that connects to your router
2 software decoder if accessing the vieo through computer
3 decoder if connecting from network to tv
4 ir wireless keyboard to program decoder.
Our IPTV products are at
http://www.svideo.com/avip200.html
>>
some interesting choices there. one simple choice to consider is a video "balun". allows you to transmit the video signal directly over a long ethernet cable. this is intended for a direct long distance connections. the pricey solution above is based on using a video server on your network.
one other choice.. broadcast the mallincam output from the laptop to one of the video streaming websites -- like zaplive.tv. then just tune into your own channel and watch it from the desktop...
good luck
