How to create video session between 2 home connected PCs ?
Hi,
I have 2 PCs with XP installed. One PC had Logitech WebCam Express plugged in, along with Logitech Desktop Messenger & ImageStudio 7.3 S/ W installed. Another PC had iPrC WebCam plugged in, along with its properiatory image & video S/W installed (iPrC supports Windows Netmeeting, MSN, ICQ & Yahoo! Messenger). How could I enable video session between these 2 PCs connected via my hub, just like I make Windows messenger, Yahoo! messenger or Google talk over internet with my friends ? Tks! |

I am almost certain that MSN, ICQ, & Yahoo Messenger require a internet connection and username to connect (of course I am happy to be corrected if wrong :-) ), but Netmeeting is different. With NM you can specify an IP address to connect to. In the case of a LAN you can simply type in the local address of the other computer. To get the local (IP) address of your computers all you need to do is go to STARTALL PROGRAMSACCESSORIESCOMMAND PROMPT. When that opens, type: ipconfig/all (and press enter) and note the IP address. (to get the address of both computers, you will need to do this on them both, or you can simply look in the hubs 'setup' to see them. You will have to check the hubs documentation on how to do this). This will be your local address allocated by the hub and this is the address that the other computer needs to type into NM Note that unless your hub and PCs are on all the time, the local address may change unless you force the hub to allocate a static address to your computers. Once again, check your hubs documentation on how to do this. |

You should be able to run netmeeting between two computers on your lan. Type conf in the run box (conf.exe on your computer) and press the enter key to start the setup. Below is a site with info. http://www.meetingbywire.com/XPNetMeeting.htm |
