Registering to ILS directoriesThis section describes what ILS directories are and how you can register to them.What is an ILS directory?The Internet Locator Service (ILS) is a directory similar to a telephone directory. Think of it as a phone book, when you want to call someone you just look up the number for that particular person and dial away. The ILS directory operates on the same concept except in this case the number you're looking up is an IP address.The default ILS directory for Gnomemeeting users is ils.seconix.com, you can use any ILS directory of your choice.Registering to an ILS directory allows you to register to one ILS directory at a time. All settings can be configured with the preferences window. You can register to an ILS server with the following steps:* Start Gnomemeeting    * Select Edit -> Preferences and choose "Directory Settings" (located in the General subcategory) to your left.    * Enter in the 'User Directory' input box the hostname or IP address of the ILS server you wish to register with.    * Ensure that the 'Enable Registering' check box is selected.    * You may also choose to allow other registered users to view your details (as defined in the Personal Data settings) in the user directory. If you do not select the last check box you will be invisible from other users but your callto:// address will still be functional.Browsing an ILS directoryThe ILS directory can be browsed by selecting the menu option Tools -> Address Book or by
selecting the ILS address book icon from the main window. To view the updated contents of the
directory click on the 'Find' box.
