This is a reply from the webmaster at this site.

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.

The Dundee link seems correct (according to Google, it's won a web site award), but it times out for me as well. I've also found several other JavaCamPush webcam sites which give the same error as the Shaw one.

Dundee now working, and the 'trick' suggested works, i.e. go to the Dundee web cam THEN Shawcam.

just tried it and that works for me too

(XPpro, Firefox, Java 1.5.0_02-bo9, ZoneAlarmPro)

Well I be blowed.

Going onto the Dundee website then to the Shawcam site actually works. Got the webcam going alright now.

That's using FF. Always worked in IE.

actually yup your right i clicked on the wrong cam, all other cams work fine.

Bah, still not working for me. Dundee cam works fine, go to shawcam and get the Java logo loading, which it didn't before then it fails. Have tried setting IE custom security setting for Java VM to 'low' have allowed all permissions in ZAPro. as well. if you have a look at the white building in the distance on the right hand side of the Northcam, that was an old bank and is now Bertoni's, my local Italian. I will be going in shortly for a take away. Think I will have one of Roberto's specials, strips of fillet in a rich tomato , garlic & chilli sauce with Tagliatelle.

I'll give you a wave.

Not that any of you would be sad enough to be watching a webcam of Shaw on a Friday night.

Have you followed the instructions in detail? If you try the Shawcam first, then Dundee, then Shawcam again, that will fail. You need to close all browser instances, so the Java symbol goes from the systray, then open a browser, go to the Dundee webcam, then open the Shawcam in that window - at least that works for me.

Doing the dundee cam thing worked for me and I'm using an older version (1.4.2_06)

Yep, did just that. I will just have to make do with 'real' live views for now.

Would be handy for spying on the wife when she goes to the bookies.
