Hi Doug,

Ah, ok - in which case that'll be because the other person isn't sending
their video, or your NetMeeting isn't receiving it. Do you know if you have
a firewall? If you're using your NetMeeting from home on a dialup connection
you probably haven't.

No idea. Which build of NetMeeting do you have? If you click on Help - About
NetMeeting it should give you a four-digit number (e.g. 3388). The newest
build which came out late December I think seems to be buggier than the
previous build (3388); if you've got a newer build you might want to try
build 3388.
> I have missed something - what is an NAT? What is its purpose?
A NAT is a device for allocating/sharing IP addresses on a network. You seem
to be on a single computer (not networked), so unless your ISP has set one
up you probably don't have one. As you go on to say that...

that doesn't appear to be the case.

Not as such that I'm aware of, no.
Which operating system did you say you were running?
