NetMeeting Connectivity Commands Always Seem to Be Available (161435)

This article was previously published under Q161435

SUMMARY

When NetMeeting is running, all connectivity commands, such as Call or Place Advanced Call, seem to be available even if no modem or network adapter is installed in the computer.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is by design. When NetMeeting starts, it does not check to determine whether a modem or network adapter is installed.

NetMeeting does not check to determine whether functional protocols are available until you try to use a connectivity command. This behavior allows you to use the program and add a Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (PCMCIA) modem or network adapter when it is needed.
