Allen,
NetMeeting works just fine in XP. In fact, prior to some improvements in
Windows Messenger, I used it exclusively to talk with another MVP.
Here's the information you need to be aware of:
The problem is that the Microsoft owned and run Internet Directory servers
for NetMeeting are no longer supported. They have been phased out, in
favor of Windows Messenger. You will need to either use a different ILS
server (addresses for these can be found by searching for "Netmeeting ILS
server", without the quotes, at
www.google.com) and type the server address
into the directory window's server name/address bar manually, or you can
place a NetMeeting call directly by clicking the call BUTTON and entering
the other person's IP address or host name.
Note: If you choose to use a different ILS server, the other person you're
trying to call should be using the same server as well. Most ILS servers
do not share their lists of users between each other, in my experience.
However, if the party you wish to voice and video with is using Windows XP,
you will find Windows Messenger is superior in performance, with all the
same features as NetMeeting.
In fact, some of the core components of NetMeeting (Desktop Sharing and the
like) are what is used by Windows Messenger.
Windows Messenger is also much easier to configure to work through a
firewall, especially a UPnP enabled firewall. NetMeeting does not support
UPnP firewalls, so you have to configure the firewall manually.

Yes Kelly, read the FAQ link, and there is nothing there
that helps with the NetMeeting problem. I am now
convinced that NetMeeting CANNOT work with windows xp.
If it can there should be a place somewhere inthe
microsoft kingdom that tells you how to do it. Every
single contact I made in this effort tells me how to
START NetMeeting, but not a single individual can tell me
how to make a call, or a contact with another person on
NetMeting ins any windows version. The activating and
opening of NetMeeting is as simple as it ever was. That
is not my problem. Once it is open, HOW DO YOU PLACE A
CALL AND OR HOW DO YOU CONTACT ANOTHER PERSON WHO IS ALSO
ON NET MEETING?
In order to try and make progress in this project, I
installed a fresh copy of Windows XP on another
computer. I activated and opend up NetMeeting, and when
I try to make contact with ANYONE ANYWHERE, I get a
message to go to MSN Messenger. If YOU can use
NetMeeting, Tell me how you do it.
Thank you for your response.

Allen,
Did you read through the FAQ link, I sent? Other than that, take it up with
MS.

I need someone to tell me how to get NetMeeting to work
in Windows XP. I have uninstalled reinstalled, edited
the register, changed values, added keys,
restored,visited at least 100 sites that all tell me it
is there and it works. I do not know how this can be. I
open up NetMeeting in windows xp and I try to make a call
and a message in the directory send me to MSN Messenger.
When I open up NetMeeting and go into tools video, all my
video settings are grayed out. When I check for settings
video and audio are marked with the message "Audio
Hardware not detected" "Video Hardware Not Detected"
I have tested my audio and video, and both are in working
order. Device manager also reports that Audo and Video
are working properly.
Is there anyone in the world who can help me to get
NetMeeting to run on windows xp. I sure hope so. I have
been trying for over a week now.
thanks Allen
