Video conferencing question?

I bought two identical HP laptops so that my family and I can chat via video when I'm out of town. Both have built-in webcams. What’s next? I don’t recognize any of the preinstalled software as video-conferencing software? Do I need to download specific software to communicate between the two laptops? Is there a freeware or at least try-before-you-buy software that will do the trick? (Both have MS Office Ultimate and all the bells/whistles if that helps)
Many thanks and 10 pts. to the person with simple and accurate answers.

They should have netmeeting pre-installed. Open up windows explorer and navigate to "C:Program FilesNetMeeting" to see if the directory is there. If it is, then run the "conf.exe" program which is netmeeting. It should walk you through some setup steps and make a shortcut on the desk top for you. Do this on both computers. Then when you want to call the other computer, start netmeeting, and use the ip address of the other computer to place the call.
