| 99179 | 2002-11-17 06:43:00 | I have a problem in trying to make a Netmeeting call to a PC with ADSL router with NAT addressing. The hardware firewall "bounces" the call using the IP address or by going via an ils server. Does anyone know a solution to this problem? At the moment an NM call is made to me to get around this, but if I go high speed with ADSL + router with NAT also, then unless there is an easy solution to this, communicating via NM may not be possible. |

| 99180 | 2002-11-17 07:24:00 | Terry you should be able to "pinhole" the required ports that you need access to. This will allow everything on that port to be allowed through, or forwarded to a particular comp. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 99181 | 2002-11-17 07:43:00 | Thanks JM, it looks as though I will have to do a bit more studying of whats going on, how an NM call is made, and what should be done at the other end with the router to allow the call through. Knowing it can be done is more than half the battle. |

| 99182 | 2002-11-17 07:44:00 | My understanding is that if you are using NAT you are out of luck as far as Netmeeting goes. Having said that, my Asus 6000EV ADSL router has a special provision in firmware in the NAT setup to allow Netmeeting ! | wuppo (41) | ||
| 99183 | 2002-11-17 08:19:00 | Yes, Wuppo, it may not be easy, here's one Microsoft KB article on the topic: support.microsoft.com (Appologies, Videoguy didnt mean to hijack your post, but it may be relevent!) |

| 99184 | 2002-11-17 08:28:00 | I think the best way to find out would be to take a decent software firewall (Kerio) and a dial-up modem. Then see what port it uses, then pin hole that. Or find someone on the net that knows what ports to use. I know plenty of people that have opened up port 412 so they can be "active" when using DC. |

| 99185 | 2002-11-17 09:06:00 | From what Ive read this evening Netmeeting uses dynamically assigned ports in the range 1024-65535 for secondary TCP and UDP connections, so it's not a question of pinholeing just a few ports unfortunately, but I'll still have to mug up more on this. ]:) | Terry Porritt (14) | ||
| 99186 | 2002-11-17 10:16:00 | I know some people at OCNZ (forums.overclockers.co.nz) use smoothwall (hardware based firewall) some teamed up with DSL others with dialup. They've had trouble getting netmeeting working, not sure if they did get it working I'll have to find out. and there are troubles with sending files via msn...... but you just email instead. |

| 99187 | 2002-11-17 10:47:00 | No problem You have raised a valid thread with netmeeting I have emailed DSE and will see if their ADSL router will run netmeeting |
