Brian -
This is a poor SOHO and my networking knowledge is very limited so what ever
I come up with has to be easy and cheap. I have 5 IP addresses available
here. One for the gateway, one for the web sever and the other three are
free. My original plan was to use 1-to-1 NAT and have 3 public IP addresses
mapped to 3 private IP's for Netmeeting terminals. Everything worked fine
except I found out too late that there was no way to program the firewall to
pass the large block of dynamic UDP ports that Netmeeting uses.
I am not sure if your configuration does what I am trying to do or not. You
say the NT server has both originate and receive. If I understand
correctly, this means the client side computers can make Netmeeting calls,
but there is no way for the outside world to call them directly. The
outside world however can call an IP address that is owned by the NT Server.
Correct so far? If so, what happens to those incoming Netmeeting calls?
How are they forwarded to the clients?
