[GnomeMeeting-list] GnomeMeeting and NetMeeting : A couple of problems

[Vasileios Gkanis <gkanis cems umn edu>]

Hi,

I am trying to talk to a friend of mine with Gnomemeeting (version 1.0.2) and 
I have encountered a couple of problems, which I believe could be due to a 
misconfiguration. First of all my friend is running windows ( I think XP) and 
therefore he is using Netmeeting.

The first problem that I have is that the picture changes very slowly, like 
the CPU is used at 100% when I am connected. So, If I am not connected I will 
move my head or do something and I will almost immediately see the movement 
on the screen. However, when I am connected, a couple of seconds will pass by 
before I will see it on the screen. Still while I am connected the CPU is not 
running at 100%. BTW, I have a P4 at 2.4MHz.

When I connect, my friend will hear and see me but I won't. He was sure that 
he had enabled video/audio transmission, but still I was not able to hear/see 
anything.  About the hear part I think there has to be something that I need 
to configure. So, I am using KDE and I found out that arts is not running. I 
am using 2.6.6 kernel and the alsa drivers. If I speak to the microphone I 
will hear my voice from the speakers, but not my friends voice. I remember 
that arts has this option to use the sound card to record and play 
simultaneously. Do I need to enable this?

Finally, my friend can call me but I can not. I asked him to check whether 
there is a firewall and he told me that the default one is not activated.

Any help/comment is greatly appreciated....

Thank you for your time,
Vasilis
