Re: Any way to increase data bandwidth on a LAN?

Hi,
First time poster here.

We're trying to share a video-microscope application over an LAN
connection.
The application has a native frame rate of ~5frames per second and
typically fits in a 800X600 pixel window.

With "true color" sharing, the transmitted image is pretty good (for
one frame.)
NetMeeting doesn't seem to send new frames; it gives up after the first
frame comes through.

We are operating LAN bandwidth on both ends with "true color" sharing.
We've tried it sharing just the application and sharing the entire
desktop with the same poor results.

Any thoughts on how to "force" a data refresh for this application
window?
We're willing to accept heavy network bandwidth.

Thanks.

You may just be looking at a limitation of the sharing feature of
NetMeeting -- certain applications just don't share well. From the
NetMeeting release notes:

"Sharing of Microsoft(R) DirectX(R), OpenGL, MS-DOS(R), graphics-intensive
games, and .avi files is not supported and might not function properly."

You could try another (free) program that has similar control/screen
sharing features like VNC:

There are various incarnations and I am not sure which might suit your
need.
