Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry
When you try to use the VDOnet VDOPhone program to connect to an Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) client computer that is also running VDOPhone, you may be unable to establish a connection.
This issue can occur if the VDOPhone program is not installed on the ICS host computer.
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may
require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve
problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own
risk.
To resolve this issue, install the VDOnet VDOPhone program on the ICS host computer.
To work around this issue if VDOPhone is not installed on the ICS host computer, use Registry Editor to view the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ICSharing\Mappings\Active
Change the value data key of the VDOPhone registry entry to the Internet Protocol (IP) address that is provided to the ICS client computer by the ICS host computer, and then restart your computer.
The VDOnet VDOPhone program is a video-conference program. VDOPhone delivers full color, two-way video and audio communications without the traditional video conferencing hardware requirements.
VDOPhone has the ability to connect users over networks that use Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and over normal analog phone lines by using the ITU H.324 standard for low bit-rate video conferencing.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
