I haven't actually done it, but Windows Media Encoder seems to do everything you need. You'd need to open up incoming access through your firewall for it to work, but apart from that it looks straight forward.

We are just doing this in our shop. Grab a network camera and then go to www.icode.co.uk and grab their iCatcher console software to record the camera output and also serve it to the web so you can see the cams from anywhere.

I've used it accross a LAN, it mullers your CPU but otherwise works well and is free I beleive?
