Webcam Software for remote monitoring via a www URL

Hi, I have a logitech webcam that I purchased a year or so back. I was trying to finally set it up to monitor an area of my home remotly via a web URL. The software that came with my camera had a Wizard for creating the webcam and a link to a company called Spotlife; however I am not sure this company still exists since the time I bought the camera as I cannot find their website to create the trial webcam account. So my question is this: I would I would like to setup a webcam and be able to monitor it remotley via a web url, can anyone recommend softeware or service that can set this up fairly quickly? It can be freeware or if there is a fee I would also conisder that, even a do it yourself method with something like IIS would be good. This is fairly urgent as I am going out of town soon. Thankyou for your help.

Thanks Travis, that sounds like an interesting method, I will give it a go.

BR dushan, don't you need yahoo messenger installed to view the stream?

I want something that I can see through a browser or does not require a third party app.

thanks~!
