We have an XP network with 3 machines on. Our 'net
connection is via using a LINUX box as a router with
ADSL. All works fine except for Webcam communication. If
I try and activate my webcam, the recipient gets
a "connection not able to be made to server" error (or
something close to this).

I assume there must be something blocking the video
stream, buit how is this corrected? (Same goes for live
audio connections BTW)

Check the LINUX box (which I will assume is a NAT here) to ensure its ports
are opened or enabled to pass your camera traffic (again not sure which port
assignment your cam uses)
