Hi Andy,

Yes I have _nearly_ that:

[laptop]
type=friend
host=192.168.0.2
context=default
incominglimit=6
outgoinglimit=4

Arhh? In extensions I have

[h323]
exten => 2005,1,Dial,h323/laptop

So are you suggestions that my context in h323.conf should also be
h323?

I'll try changing it that way.... [no it doesn't make any difference,
I get the same error message]

Certainly the idea about contexts and dialing plans makes sense but I
don't quite get yet the relationships between what's in
extensions.conf and the other *.conf files.  Neither am I too sure
when asterisk starts up the order it starts reading the config files
and _exactly_ how one relates to another.

Thanks for the suggestion though.  I guess I need a _minimal_
configuration of just one or two extensions which "connect/relate to"
one/two netmeeting clients. The fuller configuration files are
obviously confusing me.
