If you are looking to setup a video conference solution for your LAN I suggest looking at Red5 media server. I use Red5 on Linux Ubuntu 8.04 and for the front end I use VideoWhisper.
Things that you will need....
1. Linux Server
2. Red5
3. VideoWhisper
4. Webcams
1. Setup a Linux server using a LAMP configuration.
2. I use the Ubuntu Desktop GUI to avoid too much command line. So from the command line run this command:
sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
This will install a desktop GUI to make navigation easier.
3. Open up the terminal and get started with installing Red5. Follow the instructions on this link:

4. Now install Video Whisperer:

Now hook up your webcams and start your conference.
Hope this solution helps. You can use other free software to intergrate with Red5 server as well.
