Sorry, but I don't have good advice for this problem. I've not seen this
one before.

You may wish to see http://www.meetingbywire.com/ for assistance.

Also, NetMeeting sound is a huge bandwidth hog and doesn't work that
well compared to using the phone. turn off sound on both machines and
use the phone. This approach will let you ignore your problem and get
on with the meeting.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.
