NetMeeting connection issue 1

[mscallisto]

I have two laptops (XP Pro) on a home network with Computer Names "LaptopMobile" and "LaptopSunRoom" both in workgroup "Home"

The options in NetMeeting are the same on both laptops.

I initiate a call using computer name e.g. I call "laptopsunroom" and all is well, I do my desktop sharing and I'm a happy camper.

When I call "laptopmobile" from the other laptop it says NetMeeting can't find it and I don't know why.

Any Clues and BTW is the correct forum or should I try Remote Access Issues?

if you ping laptopmobile does it respond? Does it show in network neighborhood? Check firewall settings on laptopmobile. I would start there.

Thanks dippncope

You led me down the right path, laptopmobile had no share.

Everything works both ways now.
