I have a PC / XP computer and have discovered that NetMeeting no longer shows
up under Start/Accessories/Communications.

Accordingly, does anyone knows of an alternative FREE version of NetMeeting
that is available for XP users.

I am looking to interface with via a web conefernce setting where I could
share files and exhibits with my colleagues real time during our audio/video
conefernce.

Thansk for any assistance and guidance!!!

To start NetMeeting go to Start -> Run and enter conf.exe in
the Open box.
Click OK.

Good luck

Point I'd make here is that it can be difficult to get Netmeeting to work
through a router, because of its arcane protocol which doesn't understand
private IP ranges. You might have better luck wth Skype. Others worth
looking at are Wengo and Teamspeak.
