Title: Microsoft Netmeeting
Post by: Whiskas on May 24, 2003, 11:05

Has anyone used microsft netmeeting on here? I have just tried it but it keeps saying that the server is incorrect, any ideas on how to fix it?

Were you trying it between 2 people with the same OS Whiskas?
I havent seen that particular message but for some reason if you are trying to use it with someone on XP,and if I remember correctly you are on 98,then it will only work if you initiate the contact.If XP tries to contact 98 it fails.
Prior to attempting to contact anyone did the system check and set up your audio and video correctly or did problems occurr during this?

I hadn't actually got as far as trying to use it with another person Sandra it seems to happen as soon as I load it up. I thought it may be that it has old servers or something like that because I tried all the different ones available but I have the same message with all of them
