|
|
Hi All
I've posted to many groups but have never received a response on this.
Is there any information out there on how to setup my own netmeeting server?
Thank you, Jack Black |

There is no such thing as a NetMeeting server. NetMeeting only supports 2
party audio and/or video. There are other solutions available which you can
locate by searching "video conferencing", however, I don't think any of them
will support a 15 party audio/video conference due to the large bandwidth
required.

Thanks. But there IS a MS Netmeeting server. It's used by thousands aroundt
the world.
I'm looking for information on this. I think it's setting up an ILS server,
but not sure.
Anyone have any ideas??

The ILS server you refer to only allows users to register and connect to
each other by passing the IP address of those logged on to those starting a
session, once the parties are directly connected it is not involved in any
way. It does not act as a MCU "multipoint control unit" for conferences
themselves. The only Microsoft product that provided what you are looking
for was Exchange Conferencing Server(ECS) which ran on or in conjunction
with an Exchange2000 system. It used NetMeeting dlls for data conferences
but not for audio and video. ECS is no longer actively sold and is only
given limited support. I believe it is still MS's intent to totally drop
NetMeeting and ECS once Live Meeting and/or Instant Messaging provide the
requited functionality.

Interesting. You mean that it's just a "central point" so that they don't
need to connect to an outside netmeeting server? So after they connect
through the ILS server, they can then use their web cams and microphones as
normal?

There is no need to have an ILS server in order to have a NetMeeting
session. You need to know the IP address or machine name on your network
and you just call each other using that. Remember only 2 users in a
NetMeeting session can use voice or video. All users can use desktop or
application sharing however. If you want a session with 15 users I suggest
that use desktop or application sharing to share each others material and us
a regular Telco conference call for the audio.

There is no server required for a NetMeeting session of 15 users they each
call the IP address or machine name of the person hosting the session. Only
the first 2 users can exchange audio and video none of the rest can send or
receive audio or video. If this is not being done on a corporate LAN or WAN
it would be difficult to accomplish.
If the name of my machine on the corporate network was "joesmachine" they
would all call "joesMachine" If I had a permanent IP address on the
corporate network say x.y.z.a then they would all call x.y.x.a. In future NM
sessions they would see "joesmachine" or z.y.z.a show up in the drop down
list whenever NetMeeting call was selected.
You need to try this with one or two of your peers to see how it will work
for you. If you really want an ILS server I believe it is a standard option
with W2K server. Check the MS knowledge base for further info.

A company normally nervier would. Their most viable use was on the internet
by people who had no other knowledge of each other or of each others IP
accessed due to the use of DHCP by their ISP.

The ILS server you refer to only allows users to register and
connect
to
each other by passing the IP address of those logged on to those
starting
a
session, once the parties are directly connected it is not involved
in
any
way. It does not act as a MCU "multipoint control unit" for
conferences
themselves. The only Microsoft product that provided what you are
looking
for was Exchange Conferencing Server(ECS) which ran on or in
conjunction
with an Exchange2000 system. It used NetMeeting dlls for data
conferences
but not for audio and video. ECS is no longer actively sold and is
only
given limited support. I believe it is still MS's intent to
totally
drop
NetMeeting and ECS once Live Meeting and/or Instant Messaging
provide
the
requited functionality.

Thanks. But there IS a MS Netmeeting server. It's used by
thousands
aroundt
the world.
I'm looking for information on this. I think it's setting up an
ILS
server,
but not sure.
Anyone have any ideas??

There is no such thing as a NetMeeting server. NetMeeting only
supports
2
party audio and/or video. There are other solutions available
which
you
can
locate by searching "video conferencing", however, I don't think
any
of
them
will support a 15 party audio/video conference due to the large
bandwidth
required.

Hi All
I've posted to many groups but have never received a response
on
this.
Is there any information out there on how to setup my own
netmeeting
server?
Thank you, Jack Black

Hi again,
My users want to use the Outlook 2000 "automatic netmeeting reminder"
service in Outlook. Is this only possible with an in-house ILS server? It
seems so after I read through the litrature. So I guess it's a good idea to
install the ILS then for this reason only?
Thanks again, Jack

Thanks for the good info.
So basically, WHY would one do an ILS server for Netmeeting if it's not
needed??
Thanks

There is no server required for a NetMeeting session of 15 users they
each
call the IP address or machine name of the person hosting the session.
Only
the first 2 users can exchange audio and video none of the rest can
send
or
receive audio or video. If this is not being done on a corporate LAN or
WAN
it would be difficult to accomplish.
If the name of my machine on the corporate network was "joesmachine"
they
would all call "joesMachine" If I had a permanent IP address on the
corporate network say x.y.z.a then they would all call x.y.x.a. In
future
NM
sessions they would see "joesmachine" or z.y.z.a show up in the drop
down
list whenever NetMeeting call was selected.
You need to try this with one or two of your peers to see how it will
work
for you. If you really want an ILS server I believe it is a standard
option
with W2K server. Check the MS knowledge base for further info.

Hi again, i'm so confused here becuase you said, "There is no need to
have
an ILS server in order to have a NetMeeting
session." But then in the next sentence you said the opposite(?)
"You
need
to know the IP address or machine name on your network and you just
call
each other using that."
When you say machine name or IP of network, wouldn't that be the ILS
server?
If not, what server would that be?
Do you mean to say that each person just has to know each others IP
address
and then connect that way?
If the server is not an ILS server, how do the connect to the server
then
and all 15 meet together at one time?
Thank you for your time.

There is no need to have an ILS server in order to have a NetMeeting
session. You need to know the IP address or machine name on your
network
and you just call each other using that. Remember only 2 users in a
NetMeeting session can use voice or video. All users can use
desktop
or
application sharing however. If you want a session with 15 users I
suggest
that use desktop or application sharing to share each others
material
and
us
a regular Telco conference call for the audio.

Thanks for the info
Interesting. You mean that it's just a "central point" so that
they
don't
need to connect to an outside netmeeting server? So after they
connect
through the ILS server, they can then use their web cams and
microphones
as
normal?

Yes that would make sense considering your users desires. Since there is
very little if any load on an in house ILS server you could probably just
install it on any W2K server you have available. I never used this feature
so I don't know any more that what the DOC says.
