Because she is using NAT, and NetMeeting uses a dynamic allocation of ports for the voice IIRC.

Ian - Think it's an NTL set top box being used, so assume one cannot open up the ports?

There are so many things that are a consideration.

How do you know that you are running NAT? Are you running some proxy software?

The user with Netmeeting behind NAT (your mate) has to initiate the connection, or it wont work.

Anyone au fait with Netmeeting? I have Netmeeting set up can talk to most people EXCEPT my mate! She is on ADSL and using XP like me. I am on dial-up and she has LAN settings and uses NAT's [whatever that is] Anyone any ideas as to why we can't talk [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Edited to day - she can chat with others too!
