After I log onto a public server, no one can call me, although I can call
people. The caller gets the message "The person you called is not able to accept
Microsoft NetMeeting calls." This problem began after I installed an ethernet
card for DSL. When I used a dialup ISP, I didn't have this problem. Now, if I
use the dialup ISP, I have the problem. I use NetMeeting 2.01 and don't want to
use 3.0. If I give the caller (via email) my IP address, I can receive the
call. How can I correct this problem so people can call me just by clicking on
my name on the server?

You've got a problem. 2.01 has a bug that puts the wrong IP address on the
servers if you have a multi-honed computer (your ethernet card). I also
can't stand 3.01 and I use 2.11 and had the same problem after buying a
computer with an ethernet card. I got around it by disabling the card. If
you're using the card, and can't disable it, there IS a workaround. Use LDAP
to get your name on the server. I'm not sure where you can download it at,
but netmeetinghq.com can point you in the right direction.

Thanks very much for the info!
This may seem like a stupid question, but I'll ask
anyway. I installed the Ethernet card because I got
DSL. Is it possible to disable the card and still
connect to the internet, via DSL? You said if I could
disable the card, I can receive called when I log onto an ils server. How would
I disable the card?
If I install Net Meeting 3, will the problem
disappear? I really hate to do this option. This is
the first product I've seen get worse with a new release.
I'm going to try the LDAP, too.Thanks for all your help.

I don't have DSL, I have cable. So I don't know if DSL uses the ethernet
card or not. I imagine it does or you'd be stuck using the 56k modem.
Start.....settings....control panel....system....device manager.. will allow
you to disable or remove any device if you decide to go that route.
Yes, version 3.01 removes this bug if you can stand using it.
