Netmeeting and Westell Versalink 327W1
I'm trying to set up Netmeeting on my Windows XP computer and I cannot connect to any ILS server.
Someone suggested that the problem might be in the configuration of my 327W but I didn't understand any of the details he mentioned.
Do you think that is the problem and, if so, could you give me simple step-by-step directions for rectiyfing it?
Thanks.

The address that you are trying to reach, can you go to start>run>cmd, and ping it?
Don't know what version of Netmeeting you are using, but here is the latest (I think):

You may want to try running it in compatibility-mode (WinNT-SP5) or something like that.
You may also want to take a closer look at a possible firmware update (dsl-modem).

merete and johnb6767:
Both PCs in question are on LANs behind the forewall provided by the 327W. The IP address of each is one of those 192.168.x.x ones, that is not seen from the Internet.
Or are you referringto the IP addrsss of the ILS servers??
huntersvcs: Yes, I'm using 3.02. "Be a fool not to." :-)
Something like that? Is that an expert answer, I ask you! :-)
I'll look at the W2K file.
Thanks.

You say that NetMeeting is obsolete. What free progam that runs on both XP and Vista would you suggest, that does whiteboard and chat?

netmeeting is kind of outdated these days
to place a Netmeeting call simply call the other persons IP address click the Call menu, then New Call in Netmeeting
