How do I use NetMeeting?
You need to bring up NetMeeting and click Tools/Options and Check the first
item associated with the Directory Server and UNCHECK the second item, then try again. Joel "S_H" wrote in message ... Yeah, Ive read through that site; but it doesnt really answer my problems for Windows XP and Netmeeting. I have tried the Place Call/enter IP address but it still thinks the Microsoft Internet Directory is running, because it still displays the message I previously typed out! This also applies to when my collegue places a call using the IP address. Nevermind, I just dont think its going to work at all! (Although I still dont understand why it worked once and never again?!) Thanks a lot for your help though, much appreciated.

How do I use NetMeeting?
Yeah, this seems to have solved the Directory problem!
Now all it needs to do is show me the Audio and Video and It will be complete! But I should be able to work these out somehow by using the help topics. Thanks a lot for your help!

How do I use NetMeeting?
OK, first bring up NetMeeting and click the Tools/Options and on the first
page UNCHECK THE item associated with a DIRECTORY SERVER. That will cure the one problem about the Directory Server, also make sure that the one associated with DO NOT LIST MY NAME IS CHECKED.. Second, how are you connecting to the Internet? Dial up, Cable, DSL? Third do you have a Router? Some DSL providers use a NAT modem and that causes a lot of problems. OK, now how are you determining you IP address? Use the Help/About, that is the correct one to use in the calling. Joel "S_H" wrote in message ... Yeah, well Ive placed a call to my collegue using the Place call button using there IP adress. It says that Im in a call, but now I have no audio or visuals. When they try to do the same for me (use my IP address and placing a call that way), it still comes up with the "your not logged into the Directory" message For some reason, it keeps thinking there is a Directory server? hahaha. Ahh well, Ie read through that site, but it doesnt really help for XP solutions. Thanks a lot anyway for your help, and I suppose it just isnt going to work!!

How do I use NetMeeting?
Yeah, Ive read through that site; but it doesnt really answer my problems for Windows XP and Netmeeting.
I have tried the Place Call/enter IP address but it still thinks the Microsoft Internet Directory is running, because it still displays the message I previously typed out! This also applies to when my collegue places a call using the IP address. Nevermind, I just dont think its going to work at all! (Although I still dont understand why it worked once and never again?!) Thanks a lot for your help though, much appreciated.

They can find that by the Help/About in NetMeeting. Then use the Call button and enter the IP address and then Call. However, if they are behind a firewall or such they will not be reachable. Once again, read www.meetingbywire.com Joel "S_H" wrote in message ... I'm on Windows XP Home edition. I use MSN Messenger regularly, however for Video conferences my collegue has to use Netmeeting because the camera isnt compatible with MSN (appararently). My original post on this which I have asked for help is as follows: "I have got Netmeeting installed on my system, and it had worked fine.
