How do I get a remote camera on 2nd ZM location?

I have zoneminder running at home & at work now, I'd like to use them each also as remote cameras for each other. I tried to put in the ip address 66.777.888.999 for ex, for host name, port 80, and what do I put for remote host path ? Both are on Fedora Core 4, both are V1.21.3 installed from rpm, and both work fine with local cameras. I have a bttv 4 port card at work & using the comp video input on HD3000 card at home.

Thanks !

the easiest way i have found if to select stills from a vies of a camera. YThen right click on the image and select propertiers. This will give you all the info you need, any probs come back

OK, I do that & for location: I get a very long string:

http://XX.XX.XXX.188/cgi-bin/zm/zms?mode=
single&monitor=1&scale=100&auth=
334f14a76746a4c01cad137ccd395259&rand=
1124440311

I xxx'ed out my actual IP #'s there of couse, it also says:
Width 300px Height 200px
Size of File 8.33KB (8532 bytes)
Alternate text: Cam1.

I tried to put in just /cgi-bin/zm with & without the longer string that follows it for Source: Remote host path, but neither work.
I've got remote host port set to 80. Could this be an issue ? I've got a router & have set up zm ok to get http server through it, do I need to set up separate rule in the router for port 80 to go to that pc only ? or is there another path to look at or set up in the main options screen ? All I could find in the docs & faqs was in reference to if you have a network cam, but seems like I read a post how to do this, just can't seem to find it. Thanks !
