Reply from The Shawcam Operator: Hi There, Please try this : Start your web browser and go to the Dundee webcam at http://dundeecity.gov.uk/ If you cannot see the Dundee webcam then you know the problem is at your end. If you can see the Dundee webcam then go directly to the Streaming Shawcam at http://www.shawcam.co.uk/shawcams/javacampush.htm to find out if you can see it now. You may wish to save the Streaming Shawcam page in your Favorites menu first to make this easier.Then close and reopen your Web browser.

The trick is to Start your Web browser (Internet Explorer for most people) go to the Dundee cam first, then go to the Streaming Shawcam.This works for some people, I haven't figured out why yet. But it seems your browser picks up some "Ok to load the Java Applet" signal from The Dundee cam page which allows it to load the Streaming Shawcam Applet.

Don't go to The Shawcam Streaming cam first, because once the java software decides it isn't accepting the Applet you have to close and reopen your Web browser to make Java reconsider accepting the Applet.

Only problem is that the dundeecity link times out, even if I try to access site direct from IE it fails.
