    WLM Beta and Remote assistance

    Hi,
    tried this for the first time today with WLM Beta (previous versions of
    messenger worked fine) and I receive an error - Remote Assistance connection
    could not be established because the DNS name of the remote computer could
    not be resolved. (Im doing tech support for my daughter and she has WLM Beta
    as well.) Are there any changes in the Beta version that would cause this
    issue. Also when she requests assistance it also sets up a voice call!



    Any clues where i should look?

    Thanks

    Hi
    Thanks for that but had the same problem! Couldn't connect - must be a
    Microsoft feature. However a bit of further research and I found a product
    called Logmein - its free also and it worked first time! So remote
    assistance and Mesh developers should take a look a leaf out of the LOGMEIN
    book.

    Appreciate your advice anyway.

    All the best.
