Unfortunately, SIP is not really better. You have several solutions: - either you are using a router with a modern NAT, that supports SIP (there are more and more). Then it works. - or you are using a router that doesn't support SIP, you have two possibilities : 1) either it implements non-symmetric NAT. It is the case of many hardware routers. In that case, you have to enable STUN in GnomeMeeting. 2) or it implements symmetric-NAT (the Linux case). In that case, it is difficult to go through NAT, you can : - forward ports. That will transform the NAT into a non-symmetric NAT and you can use STUN. - use a public proxy. It adds latency. Skype is using any public user available and its bandwidth/CPU to proxy your voice. - use TURN, but I know no public TURN servers. It would require help from your provider. - use IPv6, not largely deployed yet ;-) - use a SIP proxy in front of your company, in your LAN. That is probably the solution of the future. Companies will have such a proxy, just like they have a mail server. Hope it clarifies things. -- _ Damien Sandras (o- GnomeMeeting: http://www.gnomemeeting.org/ //\ FOSDEM 2006 : http://www.fosdem.org v_/_ SIP Phone : sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] sip:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ GnomeMeeting-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnomemeeting-list
