OK, here's the scenario. I have an XP computer and a 98SE computer sharing
a connection to the Internet via a router. I'm trying to set up a
NetMeeting session with my daughter who is on a Windows 98 computer.

When I contact her with the XP computer, we can type to each other on
Messenger. When I called her using her IP on NetMeeting, NetMeeting showed
the connection as being made, but no sound or video went through. We could
not set up audio in Messenger, either. HOWEVER, I moved over to the Windows
98SE computer and was able to make both Messenger and NetMeeting
connections. Both video and audio worked correctly, even though I was
behind the router.

We are both using Messenger 6.1. On the 98 computers, NetMeeting is version
3.02. On XP, the version that came with XP is version 3.01.

Anyone know why the old computers can "talk" to each other, but the XP
computer cannot talk to her computer?

Interesting dilemna!

Sam
