Live webcam feeds can be difficult if you dont have your own server or static IP. If i were you id record my videos then use someone like You tube (http://youtube.com/index) To my knowledge their free (i think), up to 100mb or so of storage and you just embedd the html in to a page. To create the sign-in area i saw a while ago a script on either javascriptsource.com or dynamicdrive.com for a sign in box just like the windows xp log in box and in the script you pre-set what user names and passwords you want, easier than getting involved with sql, simple enough for a beginner even. Have this redirecting to the html page you embedd youtube in. (sorry i cant be arsed searching for the script url you need as it takes a while but have a look)

Good luck dude, and keep it clean, and if you dont share the url ... lol take care

the way i wanted to do it is have the webcam set up on my second computer for my friends and anyone that wanted to see them would have to sign in onto the server that my webpage is stored and they could see it.

yea jacks right, but its an awful lot of hassle. decide whether live feeds are really worth the hassle. You could video conference through messaging systems but not quite the professional effect.

you can do it through messaging services embedded in html rather like msn but it looks crappy i think and its more hassle than its worth

I've seen webcam software that will automatically upload a JPEG of what your camera sees every x seconds. I think ChillCam does this. Then you'd just make a page with the image in it, make sure the camera is always uploading the same name of JPEG, and you're set. That's probably the easiest way.
