Help, I just need to share my desktop w/ another NetMeeting user. We are both
using NetMeeting 3.01 on our laptops while working at home. The problem is
we are both behind a wireless router on our laptops so when we type ip config
to get our ip addresses we simply get the ip address of our router so we
don't have a clue how to connect to each other to share desktops. Help?

The fact that the router is wireless is not a factor -- the router itself
(and NAT process it uses to connect multiple computers to the internet
using only one public IP address) is the problem.
The usual strategy in this situation is for the router to be configured so
that the NetMeeting computer (on both routers) is designated as the DMZ
machine (different manufacturers routers may use different terminology but
the DMZ naming is the most common). Then the calling computer can call
using the *public* IP of the router as the calling address.
How to setup the DMZ and determine the public IP of the router is router
dependent.
