i need a program that will...

LittleHoov · 04-19-2005, 05:09 PM

all right heres the deal, a friend of mine and i are working on a project for our networking class...basically what we are working with are floor plans of a building and then we have to design a network capiche? so we have pictures of the various wings of the buildings and whatnot, all in bitmap format, what i would like to do is make it to where we can draw on the same picture in realtime, instead of one of us working while the other sits back and watches..we tried using NetMeeting, and were somewhat successful, we had the picture pasted on a whiteboard and we were both drawing on it, but the picture kept getting moved around and throwing off all our drawings...is there a way to do this? im sure there is somehow, any thoughts?

i think MSN Messenger can do it too.

ah yeah i know the various messengers will, i shouldve mentioned that we will be working on this at school, and therefore messengers of any kind are a no-no...in fact i would probably have to download the program outside of school and bring it to school with the permission of my teacher, and i know theyd throw a fit if i brought in MSN

but thanks anyway.

ahh, but have you see Web Messenger? http://webmessenger.msn.com it doesn't need to install, just runs in a IE window. Wont work if a pop-up blocker is on thou.
Unfortunatly for you it doesn't have all of the features of mSN Messenger... namely the free-draw feature.

hmm that sounds interesting, also sounds risky, we arent supposed to check our e-mail or anything like that, it might attract attention from the administration gods, i just wish there was a simple little program that we could use, without it being messenger based ya know?
