Alternative to Netmeeting?
I'd like to be able to have videoconferences with other people. I can't get
Netmeeeting to work with my router - so I'm looking for a good alternative. The other people are my sons who all have high speed connections (as I do). I'll follow up on all suggestions. The reason I don't want to fool around with my router or opening ports is that I'm afraid I'll do something wrong. If Netmeeting is the best, I'd need someone to "hold my hand" and walk me through the changes I'd have to make with my Linksys router. Also, I'd like to be able to use MSN Messenger. Thanks........

Alternative to Netmeeting?
I use MSN Messenger for video conferencing, but only one at a time, through
my ADSL Router. Unfortunately, I can't get sound to work, so instead I use Skype. Good luck! "+++Bobby "O"+++" wrote in message news:Qg8Od.1910$53.308@lakeread07...

Hi,
I think you can simply use MSN Messenger to setup a 'video-conferencing' like environment. Since MSN Messenger can transmit and receive voice and video, i think it would pretty much serve your purpose. The following KB gives more info about the ports needed to perform file sharing, voice and video through MSN Messenger. -- Anando Microsoft MVP- Windows Shell/User http://www.microsoft.com/mvp http://www.mvps.org Folder customizations http://newdelhi.sancharnet.in/minku Protect your PC! http://www.microsoft.com/protect "+++Bobby "O"+++" wrote in message news:Qg8Od.1910$53.308@lakeread07...
