How to use Messenger Voice on a LAN?
Greetings John,
Unfortunately you can't use MSN Messenger 6.1 to talk locally on a LAN-based environment, as it requires access to the public .NET Messenger network (ie. requires Internet access to logon to the service). However, if both computers were on a local network, and both log into the service, the voice communication is peer-to-peer, meaning the voice conversation itself will not leave the local network. ____________________________________________ Jonathan Kay Microsoft MVP - MSN Messenger/Windows Messenger Associate Expert http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/ Messenger Resources - http://messenger.jonathankay.com "John Q.
