Brian,
Let me refine my question. Up to a month ago, I could open netmeeting, go to
help, about and find an external IP address. I used that IP address to make
the call;
Not sure I understand -- in order to make the call you need the address of
the other party.
The general procedure would be -- have the other end go to help about,
determine their IP address, communicate it to you, who could then call
using the IP as the calling address.
then share app or desktop. I do not see an external IP address now
when I launch netmeeting. I just get the error message below. Does
netmeeting still provide an external IP address?
NetMeeting never explicitly provided an "external" address, just the local
address (which could be an public WAN address or a private LAN address,
depending on whether your access to the internet goes through a router or
not)
Requirements for a call when one or both parties are behind NAT routers:
To make a NetMeeting call to a remote party you need to have a WAN or
public IP for the party you want to call. If they are behind a router you
need the public IP of the router and you need their router configured to
forward to the internal private IP that their computer has (usually by
configuring the DMZ of the router to the target computer's private or LAN
IP).
If you want the call to include audio/video your router (assuming you are
behind a router at a private IP address) must configured so your IP is the
DMZ IP.
