I'm trying to enable access to an internal webcam externally, through a firewall. For complex reasons I won't go into unless necessary, the firewall forwards to a server running xinetd, which then port forwards to the camera.
What is the make/model of the camera? I know the one we have has a crap active x viewer and also a java one. But after a bit of poking around I found a url for the mjpeg stream which can be viewed using mplayer or vlc, it might be easier for you to do it this way?

Thanks, Adam.
It's an Intellinet IP Camera Model MNC-L10. If i could find the mjpeg stream that would be great - I'll read the manual some more for that.
Progress meanwhile is that i removed the awkward xinetd setup and the firewall directs ports 80 and 40001 directly to the camera. With firefox this throws a java overload error, but I'm now getting an image using Opera and java applet. I'm waiting to hear from active X users.
The camera is pointing at a horse who is about to foal at any second, by the way!
