The direct connect may not work since many have now install firewalls which the users have no idea how to configure or many can't tell what such do.
Bottom line? You'll become a networking expert to get all this to work now. I've revealed a little tip of the problem, but you get to fix it.
Recently Net Meeting upgraded and I am having problems making calls. I can make video calls through MSN 6.1 OK but not through Net Meeting.
I realize MSN uses Net Meeeting for video but I would like to connect directly through Net Meeting to the PC's which do not have MSN loaded.
What is the proper dialing syntax? IP address, email address, etc.?
