Maybe it is the same reason M$ Netmeeting wont work thru NAT enabled networks? ;) -----Original Message----- From: Rhett R. Rodewald [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 25 July 2000 16:40 To: All Subject: [Miami] IP-NAT Routing of DialPad. Hi all, Anyone get MiamiDx working with one of those free telephone services? A friend of mine recommended Dialpad.com -- but I can't seem to make it work with MiamiDx. They have recommendataions on their site for making it work with a number of firewall/IP-NAT systems, but despite poking the right holes in the firewall (and even disabling it completely) it doesn't seem to work. Outgoing sound works fine -- I can call a number, and they can hear me -- but I can't hear them. I didn't get very far with MiamiTCPDump either; packets sent look like this: 09:21:42.844222 Shelly.1202 > fa0.washdc3-egw14.bbnplanet.net.0: udp 32 but I don't see any packets returning. There are lots of lines that look like: 09:21:53.067659 [|tcp] (DF) -- but I'm not sure what those are -- they don't seem to have any source/dest info -- so perhaps the remote server isn't even returning the packets to my LAN at all??? Or is it just in some indecipherable format that MiamiTCPDump doesn't understand? Since dialpad has instructions to make this work with a number of systems (including Linux IP-NAT) I figure it should be possible to route through MiamiDx. Anyway, Dialpad seems quite reasonable -- they don't require too much personal info -- primarily a name and e-mail address (and you can get a ...uh... "unique" address from yahoo or similar to help protect your privacy.) They just display your typical banner adds in the dialing window. Other than that, you can call from any Windows computer to any phone in the US for free. (You can also call worldwide PC to PC for free.) The software is a 170K Java program, which is currently Windows only, but they are working on other versions. (Mac is next) I don't know how standardized sound card access is under Java -- I assume that is why it isn't automatically multi-platform. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rhett R.
