Hello gang. It's me texaspete, Hey, have any of yall used Windows XP64 and Netmeeting. I have a Dell that is connected via a router to the internet. I have DSL with ATT - 6mg downloads, windows updates are faster and reasonable. it's great. Now back on the subject.
This is what I don't know, is the data encrypted durning a Hosting of a Netmeeting. Does Netmeeting support OPenGL or do I have to change my Config.pro to Win32.gdi (or something like that). I not that familiar with Netmeeting configurations vs Pro/E Wildfire 3.0. I have a call into PTC, but the Technician didn't even know about the Bulletin,(read below). When I used my old dell, it had Windows 2000, I had someone set up my netmeeting and I wasn't able to watch him. My bad, I know. I do remember having to change my config.pro when I when hosted a call.

I just found out today that the Design Collaboration software has been discontinued or in PTC words, "RETIRED" From PTC website, it reads

Customer Support Bulletin
Pro/ENGINEER peer-to-peer design collaboration capabilities being retired

December 2006

Dear Valued Pro/ENGINEER® Customer,

Microsoft recently announced the imminent release of Groove 4.0. Unfortunately, Groove 4.0 does not include previously supported capabilities that allowed PTC to build its design conferencing capabilities to meet the needs of our customers. Microsoft also announced that it will no longer support Groove 2.5 technology or services after December 31, 2006. Groove 2.5 is the version currently embedded in Pro/ENGINEER, enabling peer-to-peer design conferencing. In addition, since the introduction of peer-to-peer design conferencing in Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire, the capabilities of desktop sharing and conferencing, such as Microsoft Live Meeting and Citrix GoToMeeting have matured into commercially viable alternatives, which do not require integration into Pro/ENGINEER.


After a diligent assessment of the Groove 4.0 capabilities, Groove product roadmap, and commercially available alternatives, PTC has decided to retire the Pro/ENGINEER peer-to-peer design collaboration capabilities, which were part of the Design Collaboration Extension, effective January 1, 2007. Due to the availability of commercially viable alternatives, PTC has no immediate plans to replace these capabilities within Pro/ENGINEER.

TexasPete,

NetMeeting is terrible at delivering video. It just does not support the graphics capabilites required from CAD. We use WebEx here which does an OK job of showing graphics but it's slow. The best performance you can expect would be to run in Win32 mode.
