I run XP home edition and am having a nasty time with
NetMeeting. I seem to have issues logging into the
Microsoft Directory. I am able to log into other
directories, like acernet, however. My other problem is
this. When I want to meet with someone, I can view them
fine, however they can not view me. There is no problem
with Yahoo!, but I prefer NetMeeting. Any suggestions on
how to resolve the problem?

Thanks
 
When you say, "I seem to have issues logging into the Microsoft Directory." Do you mean that you can not log unto them?

I think that the Microsoft Directory servers were shut down a few years ago, by Microsoft. But I guess they did not remove the access to them in the NetMeeting program.

1. The recipient may need to change settings in their firewall protection, to allow streaming video. Especially if they are behind a network router with built-in firewall. You may also need to check your PC settings if you have firewall protection.

Do you have an acct with ChatPal? It seems that there is a download for NetMeeting, that may contain the ILLS addresses that they use for their services.

I believe Yahoo Messenger handles all these problems internally on their servers, and through their program.

Rich/rerat .. thanks for responding. I am able to log
onto a directory other than microsoft, but this still
does not answer why I can view someone else, but they can
not view me. Everything seems to be OK in properties.
ie: it shows I am sending video. I use chatpal every
once in a while and I noticed that the IP published in
the room is not the same as the IP that is listed under
Help Topics for NetMeeting... is this a problem? is it
able to be resolved? This used to work fine, then one
day it did not.

Thanks for the feedback.
