[GnomeMeeting-list] Re: Problems connecting to Netmeeting machines from gnomemeeting

[Steve Rifkin <steve410 cs jhu edu>]

According to the Microsoft website, SP2 is specifically for all the MS OS's 
*except* for Win2K.  You'll need to go into the SP2 link to see.  Win2K has 
Netmeeting built in, and I'm not aware of any SPs for that.
