View webcam over IP

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.webcam (More info?)

Hi,

I have just purchased a cheap webcam (Genius) I would like to assign this
cam an IP address so that I may view it from any browser
Can someone tell me is this possible or do I need a specific camera to do
this, if I can with my camera, can you explain how I go about doing it.
