Hi Bruce,

Are you using Producer 2003? Try checking this site and
see if it helps:

Hi Bruce,

One more for you:

Although this article addresses PPT2000 and NetShow, it
sounds so similiar to what you describe that it seems
worth a look.

Maybe the Broadcast add-in for PowerPoint 2003 has the
same issue with the TCP/IP port conflicts.

Anyway, it's worth a look if you'd rather use the
broadcast add-in than Producer.

HTH,
Glenna

Hello,

The server requirements for the online broadcasting service (for
multicasting PowerPoint online broadcasts) are unchanged from PowerPoint
2000 and 2002.

The online broadcasting service requires either:

* Windows NT Server 4.0 SP3
OR
* Windows 2000 Server

[IMPORTANT: PowerPoint online broadcast will NOT work with Windows Server
2003]

For more about the online broadcasting service, check out the Office 2000
Resource Kit:

If you (or anyone else reading this message) feel strongly about any
specific enhancement requests for the real-time collaboration and/or remote
presenting capabilities in PowerPoint beyond what is currently possible
with PowerPoint alone (or even with PowerPoint in conjunction with
Microsoft Office Live Meeting), don't forget to send your feedback to
