RE: [NetMeeting] Problems with NetMeeting 3.01
Hello, I am asking your help to resolve a problem with Netmeeting 3.01 that comes with Windows 2000 is that one day I noticed that one of my friends told me that he/she couldn't see me on video so I got puzzled since it used to work fine until now it stopped working so I decided to check on that problem, I used Windows 98 PC with NetMeeting installed on it and tried to receive video from the windows 2000 PC with pre-installed Netmeeting software but there is no video showing up on Win 98 machine but I can see video in 'My video' on the windows 2000 machine. I'm using Phillips webcam with latest version of the drivers. Do you know what the problem is? That test was done on my home LAN. Could you able to tell me if Phillips cam is not compitable with Netmeeting or any recommanded webcams that are compitable with USB 2.0 and Netmeeting? If you can see local video then the camera and NetMeeting are working together. I can't think of any reason why on a local LAN you cannot transmit video(calls to outside from behind a NAT router or firewall generally have no audio/video incoming unless the router is specially configured -- but I presume from your information that the call was completely behind whatever device connects you to the internet?). I presume that audio connection also does not happen? What about the other way -- do you receive audio and/or video on the Win2000 machine? If a data only call were forced that would mean no audio/video between the machines (the most common reason for a data only call would be a secure call - is it possible a secure call was made?). The only other possibility that comes to mind is interference by a local software firewall on one machine or the other. Yahoo!

RE: [NetMeeting] Problems with NetMeeting 3.01
Okay, I tried to disable the firewalls both router and software and tried it again and no help at all, on the windows 98 machine it does not have camera nor audio card installed -- it is a very basic system so the only PC have camera and sound are on Windows 2000 machine. the model of the camera is Phillips PCVG675K also I noted in Windows 98, it has Microsoft TV/Video connection in the network properties so I am not sure why the 2K machine won't send video nor audio to any machines on the LAN even outside of the LAN though router. I do not know if you experience this kind of problems.. Going through a router is always a problem for NetMeeting audio/video- I am not sure what disabling the firewall in your router situation means but generally to get two way audio video in a router setup (i.e. through the router to an outside station) requires the router to have the inside NetMeeting computer designated as the dmz machine (different routers use different names but the majority use the dmz designation) so that all non directed traffic to the router will get forwarded to the dmz machine. That doesn't explain though why a LAN to LAN connection does not appear to transmit audio/video. As I said the only thing that comes to mind in that situation (the router settings should not affect you there) is a local software firewall setting. There is an issue that can occur with the QOS Packet Scheduler (http://radio.weblogs.com/0127028/2004/10/18.html) but as far as I know that is an XP only issue. Yahoo!

Re: [NetMeeting] Problems with NetMeeting 3.01
I have used DMZ on Windows 2000 and it didn't work at all so I'll try connecting my two PCs together to see what happened, I'll just set the IP addresses to fixed addresses so I can trouble-shoot and will get back to you when I have more info :) Brian Sullivan wrote: Okay, I tried to disable the firewalls both router and software and tried it again and no help at all, on the windows 98 machine it does not have camera nor audio card installed -- it is a very basic system so the only PC have camera and sound are on Windows 2000 machine. the model of the camera is Phillips PCVG675K also I noted in Windows 98, it has Microsoft TV/Video connection in the network properties so I am not sure why the 2K machine won't send video nor audio to any machines on the LAN even outside of the LAN though router.
