PPT97: Presentation Conferencing Requires Microsoft Client
This article was previously published under Q195395
SUMMARY
The presentation conferencing feature of Microsoft PowerPoint requires the
Client for Microsoft Networks to be installed, in addition to TCP/IP.
Presentation conferencing requires the client to be able to resolve the
TCP/IP addresses to the NetBIOS names.
MORE INFORMATION
In Windows, presentation conferencing allows a user on one computer to show
a slide show on other computers connected over a local area network (LAN)
or over the Internet.
The Microsoft Office Resource Kit (ORK) incorrectly states that you must
only have the TCP/IP protocol installed and file sharing enabled to run a
presentation conference from Microsoft PowerPoint. In fact, file sharing is
not required at all. Below are the correct requirements for PowerPoint
Presentation Conferencing:
- PowerPoint 97 or PowerPoint 95 and (if needed) a 97 to 95 converter
Users with only the PowerPoint Viewer or an earlier version of
PowerPoint cannot participate in the conference.
- Windows 95 or Windows NT operating system PowerPoint for the Macintosh
does not support presentation conferencing.
- Microsoft Client for Networks.
For information about the Microsoft Client for Networks, see your
Windows documentation.
- Network connection and correct networking protocol.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft PowerPoint 97 Standard Edition
