SYMPTOMS
If you are running Internet Connect Sharing (ICS) on your computer, incoming Microsoft NetMeeting calls do not work correctly. The Chat, Whiteboard, Application sharing, and File transfer features do not work even though NetMeeting shows that the connection is established. This is the case for both the ICS host and ICS Client.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the H.323 registry value is set incorrectly



RESOLUTION
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To reset the registry value, follow these steps:  Start Registry Editor (Regedit.exe). Locate the Translation value under the following key in the registry:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Mappings\Installed\H323\0001

 Click the Translation key in the right pane. On the Edit menu, click Modify, type H323, and then click OK. Quit Registry Editor. Restart the computer</li></ol>
