Hi,

first, sorry for my english, I'm French.....

I am trying to make a call through Win XP firewall with NetMeeting.. I
specified all the static ports used by NetMeeting in the firewall (I don't
care about sound and video for the instant).

But the call does not reached the other person... I have " The other part
did not accept your call"

Is it possible to use NetMeeting with Win XP firewall or not ? or is it just
a configuration problem ?

thanks

This the XP SP2 firewall?

The easiest thing to do is just make Netmeeting an exception.

The only port used by Netmeeting for data transmission is tcp 1503 -- I am
not sure what ports you are specifying.

I suspect that the problem is at the other end then -- to make a data only
outgoing call should require no firewall configuration.

How are you making this call ( direct via IP? -- how and when is the IP
determined). Is the other party behind a router or border firewall of some
kind? Is there software firewall if in use correctly configured?

It is possible to use NM with either the SP2 or earlier XP firewall
enabled. As I said I suspect it is not a firewall problem ( at least not
at the the calling end).
