Well, my webcam was working fine just last night, but now it will not broadcast.

I can see myself, but others cannot see me. I am using tinychat.

When I open another window of that chat room, I cannot see myself broadcasting.

Also, when I try to broadcast with cam off, and sound only, it still doesn't broadcast anything.

edit: I just did some reading and it may end up being a network problem, please still help me if u can or move topic if necessary.

More details:
I have a builtin Webcam, Motorolla SB900 modem, Comcast is my ISP.

I found out the problem only arose after my roommate tried to reset our IP by leaving the modem off overnight. I've read some stuff that say it may be a port forwarding problem or something else, I don't quite know what exactly is causing it, because my camera is working just fine. It just won't broadcast.

Have you tried using System Restore to restore your computer back to a point before the problem began?

No, not yet, I believe it may actually a network problem after reading some stuff. I will update my original post with more info about this situation.
