First make sure it's installed.  If your webcam has an LED light, it should be on if its installed properly (I am assuming that the webcam is pretty new).\n\nIf you need to use it for just taking pictures (which isn't the intended use by any means) then use the software that came with it.\n\nHowever, if you want to chat with your webcam, then I suggest you use Yahoo Messenger, AIM or MSN Messenger.  ALl three have the option to start video conferencing.  If your cam is installed right, the application should start using it without any issues.

Pick any of the millions of pron sites out there. Contact the admininstrator of that site, ask if you can direct link to the webcam service via server. If so, you should be good to go.

I really want to help you solve your problem. But you haven't posted enough information. Can you please let me know the model of the webcam etc.\n\nWhat I would do is uninstall the webcams program and reinstall it this might fix the problem

More details. Are you both on the same network already? Are you both at home, within the distance reachable by a LAN cable? Are you both using the same Operating System?

If you're running a firewall, try disabling it TEMPORARILY and see if it will work. If so, you'll have to do some troubleshooting with your firewall. http://help.yahoo.com/help/aa/mesg/webcams/webcams-13.html\nmight help.

remove the web cam \nyou MUST remove any drivers and software you have installed for it\nDONT just reinstall or repair over the old one!\nreboot your machine\nreinstall the drivers\nreboot the machine\nfit the web cam\nand test\nit seems a bit long winded but it is the best way to avoid problems

when u install it, it should have had a webcam program with it. \nor if u have a good graphical program do import and then choose source as webcam, or if u have a client like messenger installed click on webcam
