http://support.microsoft.com/kb/878451

I have followed the steps in the Microsoft article 878451 with 2 different
people that have XP SP2 installed and it does not fix Netmeeting. I see the
article is version 3; it needs a few more versions. Why did MS have to
screw around with a great adhoc program? Remote assistance blows and is a
pain for n00bs to set up. What a screw up !! Could remote assistance
emails take any longer to send?

Any real solutions appreciated.

If you think that the problem ( I assume you are having problems operating
RDS on the SP2 machines?) is firewall related -- does it go away when the
firewall is disabled?

The external people are trying to NM with me through ISA Server; they call
my internal machine using the phone number of the internal box. ISA handles
the communication since it has an H323 gatekeeper [but not ISA 2004 :( ] .
The problem is that since they have installed SP2 they get an immediate
message when they call me that the other person cannot accept the call. It
doesn't even hit my firewall. Since it has happened to 2 different people
that have recently installed SP2 it appears to be an SP2 issue. Both
computers worked fine before. I have applied the version 3 steps of the
article mentioned before without success.

And if they disable their SP2 firewall? If you disable yours? Can you call
out to them? Can they make non gatekeeper based calls to other parties? Any
tests I have done indicate that with the firewall off (or properly
configured) there is no problem with normal NetMeeting calling on SP2. I
haven't tried via a gatekeeper but I can't see that it would be any
different.

The SP2 firewall can affect incoming NetMeeting calls though if NM is not
configured as an exception ( but this is a separate issue from whether or
not the call is gatekeeper handled -- it affects all incoming calls).

Thanks for your help Brian. It was not in fact an SP2 problem. I had
changed my IP address on the ISA box a few weeks ago and did not change the
H323 Filter to point to my new ISA IP address. @#$@$%@%

Thanks again.
