Re: netmeeting

Go to MS's website and do a search of their knowledgebase.  Last I did
this (2 years ago) I was horrified and banned NetMeeting from the network
where I worked at that time.  Basically, the firewall issues are extreme.  
As of 2 years ago, the recommendation from MS was to open *ALL* ports for
incoming traffic as NetMeeting will try to open a second connection on a
random port.  The bottom line in the knowledgebase article was something 
to the effect that if you cannot get NetMeeting to work with your firewall 
then you should remove the firewall.  A bit backwards thinking IMHO.  If 
MS has not changed their model for port use in the past two years then you 
will have a tough choice of security or NM.
