I've been reading these boards for like a year now but I've never bothered to post before...
But does anybody have any advice on what webcam to get, I already have one but my friend is looking for one (say for around $50) and I'm also looking for advice on what program to use to see each other.
well I guess my real question isn;t the type of cam but what type of program (i.e. netmeeting, etc.) to use for video conferecncing/conversation, whatever you want to call it.
I prefer Yahoo Messengers built in Video chat feature.
It's fast.. and if you have one of the new Logitech Cams.. you can turn on a feature called Super Video Mode or something like that.. which allows you to recieve higher resolutions and faster FPS.
but when I go to use it in a few weeks I'm gonna be on different networks, have you had any problems getting the video to work through firewalls (I know the supervideo won't).

I lived on the college campus in the spring and there wasn't a problem using it behind firewalls.

Thats what my problem was back when I tried using MSN for it is I was on campus at the time and it wouldnlt work through the firewalls.
for the most part I know what I'm doing and talking about but I've never used a proxy, think you could give me a quick explanation, phase?
