1 - Download NetMeeting from MS.
2 - Install it on at least 2 PCs both running TCP/IP (and you know their IP addresses).
3 - Setup one PC to auto-answer.
4 - From the other PC, conenct to the first, using the IP address.

Beyond that, you mightwant to try NetMeeting across the Internet. If you have a firewall between you and the Internet, this is going to ba "challenge" as you'll need to get a lot of ports open in the firewall (not always possible in corporate environments or through "home" firewalls).

If you can connect NetMeeting to the Internet (maybe a direct connection from home, for example) then obviously you need somebody else to talk to. Preferrably a friend who also has NetMeeting. Simplest at this point is to both register with one or 2 "ILS" servers. Your ISP may be running such a thing. If you know the other person's email address and the ILS server with which they are registered, then you can tell your NetMeeting to connect to their email address, using their ILS server.

Hope that helps. For more info, check out:
