From: Mike on 3 Mar 2008 18:23 Hi all, Is there a way to do remote collaboration, sharing, and conferencing in OneNote without giving out an IP address? I don't feel very secure giving out my IP address to the other party for conferecing in OneNote... I don't know the other party since they are just online collaborators... Thanks!

With respect to ip addresses, it is far more important to have good firewall protection... in both directions which will allow the desired onenote connection(s) and help prevent the malicious ones.

In most cases (I don't know onenote specifics,) any activity which might carry risk, such as file transfers and remote control, will require separate permissions from you.

Protect your ports, not your address.

No I am using fixed IP address... and my unknown potential collaborators are not tech geeks. I just wanted to stay anonymous before knowing more about my collaborators...
