Netmeeting… Stay away? or OK?

by tech . Updated 25 years, 7 months ago

Some guru advice needed.

From a security standpoint…

Could I allow clients to safely use MSN services including Netmeeting
options with MSN from our LAN to the internet? We have MS Proxy in place as our firewall.

If so, how should I configure our Proxy/ports if needed and/or what type of policy or procedures should I be concerned with?

Is there any good readings on this particular subject other than from
Microsoft?

Is setting up MSN capabilities within our LAN just plain stupid of us to
even consider? Or is it just the Netmeeting portion to stay away from?

Our network… small LAN, DSL with static IP connection, NT4 with MS Proxy,
latest service packs, clients currently Win98 to be upgraded soon to W2K
along withservers.

Thanks

Don Harris
