  When you will join any software company then may be it will be like a daily term for you where FMG people install softwares in your system remotely. 😀

  Re: Connect to Others with NetMeeting
  
  There are lots of ways to connect with others, including dialing directly into their computer, or connecting using an IP address, connecting via e-mail address, or even by computer name. Once NetMeeting is installed on both computers that will be used for communicating, you start it by clicking
  
  Start | Run and typing conf.
  
  Once started, you can make a connection in a number of ways. You can type in an e-mail address, a phone number, an IP address, or a computer name. Each are similar, and with an understanding of how to make a connection and communicate on the most basic level, the rest will fall into place easily. Let’s look first at the easiest way to connect, using a LAN.
  
  To connect over a LAN:
  
  1. Click Start | Run and type conf. Click OK. NetMeeting will start.
  
  2. To place a call, either click Call | New Call or click the telephone icon on
  the interface.
  
  3. In the Place A Call dialog box type the name of the computer to call. Click Call.
  
  4. A ringing sound will occur on the recipient’s computer; if they accept the invitation to open NetMeeting, you’ll be connected.
  
  5. The four ways to communicate are offered as icons at the bottom of the interface (from left to right): Share Program, Chat, Whiteboard, Transfer Files.
  Click any icon to use that method.

  NetMeeting is a standard XP component that's hidden until you initially configuration.

  Re: Use Group Policy to Secure NetMeeting
  
  Group Policy offers ways to configure and secure NetMeeting. If you’re going to be using NetMeeting as a communication and conferencing tool, looking over the options is a good idea. Using Group Policy requires that you have Windows XP Professional, though; you won’t be able to do this in Windows XP Home Edition.
  
  To open the Group Policy Editor and locate and configure NetMeeting options:
  
  1. Click Start | Run and type gpedit.msc.
  
  2. Expand the following: User Configuration | Administrative Tools |Windows Components. Select NetMeeting.
  
  3. To configure application-sharing options, double-click the Application Sharing folder in the right pane. Consider disabling the following for higher security
  - Prevent Desktop Sharing
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Prevent Sharing Command Prompts
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Prevent Control
  
  4. To configure audio and video options, open the Audio & Video folder. Consider disabling the following for higher security:
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Limit The Bandwidth Of Audio And Video
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Prevent Receiving Video
  
  5. To configure general options for NetMeeting, open the Options Page folder. Consider disabling the following for higher security (regarding the users that use NetMeeting at your computer):
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Hide The Security Page
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Hide The Video Page
  
  6. There are also some security options listed as stand-alone options, which can be viewed by opening the NetMeeting folder. Consider configuring the following for higher security:
  [FONT="]- [/FONT]Prevent Automatic Acceptance Of Calls
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Prevent Receiving Files
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Limit The Size Of Sent Files
  [FONT="]-[/FONT] Disable Chat
  
  7. Close the Group Policy Editor when finished.
