SYMPTOMS
When you are running NetMeeting, the Log on to the Microsoft Internet Directory command on the Call menu may be unavailable. Also, the icon in the lower-right corner of the NetMeeting window that indicates the logged-on status may be unavailable with a status of &quot;Not logged on.&quot;



CAUSE
This behavior occurs if you have installed NetMeeting 3.01 Service Pack 1 (version 4.4.3388).



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior occurs because the Microsoft Internet Directory is not an Internet Locator server (ILS). The Microsoft Internet Directory uses MSN Messenger Service for the contacts list. If you use an ILS, the Log on and Log off commands are available and NetMeeting tracks your logon status.

Even though your logon status is not tracked by NetMeeting when you are using the Microsoft Internet Directory, you can still receive calls and initiate calls through the Microsoft Internet Directory or by using MSN Messenger Service.
