Ideally I'd like one outdoor and one indoor cam. I will not have a separate computer but do have DSL connection indoors. I guess this means the outdoor cam would have to be wireless?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Even a "wireless" camera requires a wire for power. I think its easier and simpler to run an internet cable and forget the wireless cams. I think the best way to do an "outdoor" camera is to put it inside a window looking out. That way you don't have to worry about rain, bugs etc.. If you want the camera to look back at your home that is another story.
If you have more than one cam in a location run one internet cable and use a multi-port "switch" to put all the cams on one cable to your modem/router.
