I have a webcam, a D-Link DCS-900.  It's an Ethernet camera that has built
in HTML web pages.  When I access it, it gives me the option of video the
video using either Java, or an ActiveX control called xplug.ocx.  The
problem is that while the Java control works, the ActiveX control doesn't,
at least not automatically.

If I download the xplug.ocx from D-link and run the installer, then whatever
PC I've installed it on now works and can see the webcam video.  However,
any other PC is still limited to Java unless they do the same installation,
for which nothing on the webpage indicates how to accomplish that.  I want
to make the downloading of the xplug.ocx automatic, which is what I can't
see to do.

The camera web pages do have a field that allows me to enter a (web) path to
the xplug.ocx ("Loading ActiveX From"), but apparently there are special
rules that I don't know enough to master.  The instructions say this:

Loading ActiveX From:
This field is used to specify the location of Xplug Control (ActiveX)
plug-in program. Enter the information as required in .ocx format, for
example: http://www.<your company>.com/ xplug.ocx where <your company> must
be replaced with your company's DNS server.

---------------
Installation:
Copy the "xplug.ocx" file to any Web Server table. Note the file location so
that you can use it in the next step.

Configuration:
From the Web Configuration menu, select "System" and
ActiveX From" input web server location, type:
http://www.web server location.com/.

Important Information
It is highly recommended to install the Xplug Control application for
Internet Explorer 5.0. It must be installed to a Public Domain Address.
---------------

Now here's the deal.  The chances of getting my ISP to load xplug.ocx in
their "Web Server Table" (
what ever that is) is virtually zero.  I don't have access at home because
all my PCs are XP Home.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or know a public web server that I could
set the "Loading ActiveX From" that already has the xplug.ocx loaded that I
could set in my camera?  You'd think D-Link would have such a path
considering they sell the camera, but I can't find anything like that.

Anyone been through this before?

Thanks for any help!
Bruce.
