I have Pacbell Enhanced DSL using the Cayman Router. When trying to use Netmeeting with my webcam I am able to call my friend with his Ip address but when he tries to call me it doesn't work. Netmeeting lists my Ip address as something that couldn't possible be a Ip address. When I goto the networking icon in windows 2000 for Ip addresses it just says DHCP enabled, I called Pacbell they game me an Ip address but still when my friend tried it he can't connect, none of my friends for that matter can, I can call out but I can't recieve any calls. Am I missing something here, how the heck do I tell what my Ip address is, it seems no one at pacbell has any clue, is their a way to tell somehow somewhere within windows 2000? Is it maybe because the cayman router has a firewall or something (I dont't think it does)..... Please help!

Thanks, falcon26

Your router is masking you from the internet. Using DHCP, it's giving you a private IP. The PacBell IP is what the router uses.

Check the Cayman manual. It may have specific instructions on using NetMeeting or a section about DMZ for gaming may give some clues.

There are a number of ports that you will have to map to your NetMeeting machine, however, it will prevent you from using NetMeeting on another.

'Ipconfig' from the command prompt will give you your IP address(s)
