I do not run netmeeting - but this question comes up almost every week.I would like to use NetMeeting from my Bering protected home network. My research indicates that requires the H323-conntrack module and maybe some other configuration. Please feel free to correct me if that's wrong.However, I get the impression NetMeeting will still not be fully functional. Is that correct? Can someone tell me what limitations are placed on the operation of Net Meeting by the available modules? Thanks for your time. David Pitts
M$ uses dynamically assigned ports anywhere in the range 1024:65535 for incoming stuff. They designed this without considering firewalls and NAT.
See

1. H323 takes care of connections initiated by a host on your private network.
2. You can only port forward incoming calls to a port single host behind your firewall.
3. Port forwarding the entire range of ports to this host defeats the very purpose of a firewall.
I did a google search and it did not look promising although there are references to proxies on some commercial firewalls.
