In some systems it seems to cause strange things to happen with NetMeeting (and MSN/Windows Messenger) audio/video. Symptoms like not transmitting audio/video or causing poor reception of audio/video have been reported. I don't know the exact cause (pre SP2 systems problems seemed to be related to use of Intel NICs) but in systems not on a network with a server managing QoS, disabling the QoS Packet Scheduler seems to be the best action(with no side effects). To disable QoS Packet Scheduler Open Network Connections. To open Network Connections, click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Network Connections. Click the Local Area Connection on which you want to disable QoS Packet Scheduler, and then, on the File menu, click Properties. If QoS Packet Scheduler is listed and checked in the Components checked are used by this connection box, then uncheck it. 12:31:24 PM        comment []    © Copyright 2008 Brian Sullivan.
