NMAP SCanner is what I use. ZenMap GUI can be used as a front end if you don't like command line.

A shutdown is a complete power down of the system. When started again, its a fresh load of the OS and the related services.

Hibernation is typically a process where the OS will take it's current state (memory, running apps, etc..) and write the state to a file on the Hard Drive then power down. When the machine is started again, the OS will take the hibernation file and reload the contents so that you can continue on from the exact same point.

.... basically...

Each webcam would sit behind your router. The router would need to be setup to pass on the port from the external IP to the internal IP of the webcam.

So if the webcam is assigned a private 192.168.1.10 ip and operates on port TCP/1024, then the router must be setup to port forward 1024 from the external IP to the internal 192.168.1.10 address. That way, if you hit the public ip, all traffic is sent internally to the camera.

If your ISP give you a non-static IP for the internet, you'll need to use a dynamic dns service to register the new ip to a domain name for this to be practical.

Easy... Just assign a different subnet to the wired adapters using a static IP.

Then, create the entry in Hosts and lmhosts for the machines using the wired adapter IP.

So that, on each machine:
Wifi adapter ip via DHCP (i.e. 192.168.1.0/24) with public dns
Wired adapter ip via static (i.e. 192.168.2.0/24)

lmhosts file contains:
pcname1 192.168.2.10
pcname2 192.168.2.11

hosts file contains
pcname1.yourdomain.com 192.168.2.10
pcname2.yourdomain.com 192.168.2.11

That way, your machines will use 192.168.2.x when addressing each other, but still hit the public DNS for everything else.
