Re: Netmeeting and ipfw

[Bradley Fehr <bdfehr@home.com>]

Hi Perjan

I have video and audio going out of my private network but I was unable
to get
audio coming in.

I've heard that netmeeting sends the IP address of the machine in the
payload
of the packet which in my case is a private IP address. If netmeeting on
my
machine runs as a server for my party to connect to it is easy to see
why it wouldn't work.

Anyway there's a program called phone patch that should make it possible
at
http://www.equival.com/phonepatch/
but I get a segmentation fault when I try to run it in 2.1. (does it
work for anybody else?)

Is there any documentation on how to get netmeeting to work
accross IP masquarading in debian?

Thanks,

Brad

PS, Can you please post any other replys.
