As far as I know there is no way to share an USB connected web cam among computers in network.

On the other hand, you may search your web cam software if it offers some function to publish web cam on-line picture to web server. Some web cams have such a software.
In this case, your web cam will install itself on your main computer and will be available via IP od your computer.
But this is just a way to view picture, nothing else (you cannot use this cam for chat).

ok, is there any offline chatting software?
i can make use of an offline MSN for example.
Not sure what you mean by sharing them?

But there certainly are LAN based chat applications (usuallly paid)

Yes it has been removed. But have you tried downloading it?

this is NetMeeting!!! not windows meeting space

or is it the same?
I thought tthats what you wanted the link for. Meeting Space is only available with versions above Home Premium (Not on home basic)

And like I mentioned before, I dont think you will find a XP client, You are better to use a 3rd party app

ok,
i have windows 7 ultimate, and still cannot find that application, and i read that it was there back in Vista, but not in windows 7.

Now, i can use a 3rd party if it is free, or cheap. i am not that keen into doing this. any recommended 3rd party software?

In my first post. They have free trials
