One thing to remember if you're using NetMeeting 3.01 internally -- I've had issues with the program actually crashing the operating system on NT4 server. Give it a try when you can -- netmeeting in from any windows OS to an NT4 server (SP doesn't make a diff) and pull up explorer. Select two or more items, and then attempt to drag them. Several times, I've had the program stop responding and lose its connection. Sure enough, the server crashed! If you're going to be copying or cutting, use the keyboard shortcuts.
But for being internally secure, it's not a bad deal. Though NT4 doesn't require the domain line to be entered (NT5 does), it's set up with the security features of Microsoft Networking. Not terribly secure, but pretty solid. bane ----- Original Message ----- From: "Meritt James" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Mark Spencer" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, April 29, 2002 3:51 PM Subject: Re: MS Netmeeting & Remote Desktop - Security?? > When I used NetMeeting, we set up the server on the same side of the > firewall as all the clients (e.g. everything was inside) > > This did not address internal security, but it kept outside from > peeking! > > Jim > > Mark Spencer wrote: > > > > Following up on the thread with a response re: using MS Netmeeting to > > control a remote desktop ..
