by Argggh! I've been reading posts and searching dejanews until I'm blue in
the face. Some folk seem to swear that you cannot get NetMeeting to work,
others say that they've GOT it working (but leave out some all-important
details!) I am using 2.0.36 kernel and IP-Masquerading working everywhere
else, and really do not want to "upgrade" to IP-Chains or 2.2.x yet. If
this can be solved using the tools I already have which come with Red Hat
5.2, that would be the prefered method. The most detailed info yet comes
from the following source - http://users.nais.com/~nevo/masq/index.html...
With just 2 lines of ipfwadm (from the IP-Masq HOWTO) I have whiteboard,Quote:>Tested with NetMeeting 2.0

chat, etc. in NetMeeting working - and OUTGOING audio and video are fine.
It's the incoming audio and video only that aren't making it...and I would
hate to have to think that ALL the ports above 1024 need redirection for
this to work...and I really don't want to have to purchase a commercial
H.323 proxy either. If someone would help me translate these ipautofw
commands into ipfwadm commands (or otherwise explain how to make
NetMeeting work with IP-Masquerading) I would be most grateful.
--- my ipfwadm rules as they look now ---
ipfwadm -F -p deny
ipfwadm -F -a m -S 192.168.1.0/24 -D 0.0.0.0/0
Thank you in advance for any real assistance in solving this problem.
