Very Computer

PC1 has a broadband Internet connection and Internet Connection Sharing
enabled.

PC2 cannot sign in to Netmeeting or MSN Messenger. Error message "The
directory server could not be found" from NetMeeting and "Directory service
not available" from MSN Messenger.

PC1 can sign in fine, and PC2 can sign in if I use a dial-up connection from
PC2 itself so I presume my basic Netmeeting/MSN Messenger configuration is
okay on both workstations.

PC2 is able to browse/telnet/ping/ftp etc the web via the ICS so I presume
ICS is set up okay.

Am using the latest MSN Messenger and Netmeeting with Win2K SP2 on both PCs.
Am using the default Microsoft Internet Directory.

Many thanks in advance for any advice...

James.

Look at this page,

help with ICS port mapping.
