Netmeeting Problem In XP

[Guest]

Hi - Problem getting Netmeeting to work in xp pro. All appears to be set correctly (initial set-up went ok) but regardless of which ils server I try to connect to I receive the "The directory server could not be found" msg. I use a personal firewall but have tried it when disabled, still won't connect. Also tried via ADSL & dial-up

If I click on directory the app' hangs - the only way I can shut it down then is via task manager. Any idea's?

Probably explains why Microsoft is doing away with Netmeeting!

NetMeeting still works great, but these publicly available NetMeeting
servers from Microsoft were shut down (some time ago, as I understand).
Use other servers, your own servers, or simply call to an IP address.
