Whiteboard with more than one Contact at the same time

[Guest]

Hi,

I am using MSN Messenger 7.0 and I was trying to use the Whiteboard with
more than one contact at the same time but it seems you cannot do this

Does anyone know any other chat program with an application similar to the
Whiteboard that allows you to use it with more than one contact at the same
time?

Cheers

Greetings Ivan,

Messenger on its own can't do this you're right, but the actual Whiteboard component (which
is a part of Netmeeting) can.

To do so, simply start up Netmeeting manually (by clicking Start, then Run, then "conf" and
click OK). After Netmeeting is loaded and setup, just have everyone call your IP by clicking
the Call menu, New Call option.

If you don't know your IP, simply click the Help menu, then choose About to see it.

Note that this assumes you're not behind a router or other NAT solution and that your
firewall (if existing) has full permission for Netmeeting.
