SYMPTOMS

If you are running Internet Connect Sharing (ICS) on your computer, incoming Microsoft NetMeeting calls do not work correctly. The Chat, Whiteboard, Application sharing, and File transfer features do not work even though NetMeeting shows that the connection is established. This is the case for both the ICS host and ICS Client.
