I cant get access to the router, this is the problem, it is basically 
stalls which are going into shopping centres and need to have a live 
camera feed back via a wireless network in the centre, as I said was 
just if anyone had done something similar, I can find loads of programs 
which will give a feed but I need port forwarding for it, I need 
something which servers the signal to a webserver.

Cheers for your suggestions tho,
Daniel
