Well actually, I tried to desinstall Netmeeting, but it however used to work
with the video function enabled with no audio because there is no sound
card on the server, so it seemed to be OK. The RDS wouldn't start with an
unidentified error code, most probably because port 1720 is already busy.

Dialer.exe is not working, but listen to this, this is too cool ; the server has
IIS on it so it listens to port 80 and when I shutdown the Routing and Remote
Access service from the Services window, port 1720 is freed ; I could however
still can use port 80. I bring it back up, 1720 is then occupied....!

So that means that from the Services listed above that stop when I kill
the Svchost service, it's the Routing and Remote Access service that
ir responsible for the listening on port 1720.

Another funny thing is that here on the Island of Barbados, there is an
article that appeared in the papers this morning stating that all
Internet Cafes could not provide international calls anymore because
their port would be blocked. Most of them are however not system
administrators so it would be difficult to find if there was a bug
on their machine. But there all aiming at governement policies on
that restrict international calls and that they would have blocked
port 1720. But...

So I am not sure if everybody applied the same patch at the same time
or if we all got a virus but I am really not convinced that it's an
ISP issue or governement issue since I have been able to free my port
when shutting down the service.

Anyway, we lost several days over this and we are now going to
reinstall the server. I will let you know what happened tomorrow.
