    Thank  you.

      Hi,

      Thanks for using Dimdim.

      Please use the IP Address of the machine on which you have installed the server to join the conference i.e. http://192.168.0.12

      I would recommend you reinstall the server using the IP Address of the machine on which it is being installed.

      Since you have installed the server using the URL as http://localhost you would not be able to use certain features like email invitations.

      Please note that the IP Address/URL being used while installing should be accessible/visible from the other machines from where you intend to join the conference.For example if someone wants to join your conference over internet then your Dimdim Server should be installed using an IP Address/URL which is visible to outside world.

      Let us know if this helped us in resolving the issue or in case you still facing the issue.

      Regards
      Rohit

      Thanks for quick answer,

      But for a moment, I just want to make a test without email invitation, only join dimdim server using URL. During my installation Dimdim server find automatically my IP address which is 192.168.75.30 and I accept this address. My problem is if I start a conference why can I join it WITHOUT email invitation ?

        Hi,

        Yes you can join the conference using a URL which is specified during installation, you dont need email invitation.

        I assume you have installed it on port 80

        As you mentioned you are not able to join a meeting. Please let me know whats the exact issue.

        - Are you unable to access the URL http://192.168.75.30 from other machine.
        - Is 192.168.75.30 the IP address of the machine on which you have install Dimdim Server.
        - Are you able to start and join conference on the same box where you have installed the Dimdim Server.

        Regards
        Rohit

      Hi Rohit,
      Thanks you for you help.
      I finally could install dimdim server. Video and voice work fine ! However, Shared Desktop is not interactive like VNC or TS on Windows.
      Is it possible to set up it ?

      Thank

        Hi,

        Currently you can only view the Desktop using the Desktop Share. In our upcoming future releases we are planning to have Desktop Control feature which would allow you to interact with the Shared Desktop like VNC etc.

        Thanks
        Rohit

      Hello,
      I want to set up a class room for Blender (open source 3d app) Kind of a Blender user group. I have read a lot about WebEX and finally came across DimDim. I have no idea how to start because I am an artist not an IT wiz.

      I take there is not an alpha for mac. I do have a PC. I just wan to know how this app works what I need to get is set up, stuff like that.

      And is there a an IRC chat channel I could join? To ask more info as I set it up?

      Thanks
      Dipingo
