Thanks Simon,

I have static IPs from the ISP. I am running a linux server with a static IP. 
How can I tell all users to use my server and make connections?

I don't understand what feature does gnugk and openmcu offer. I thought they 
give me the capability of connecting many users. But I might be missing 
something.

  Andrew

  Th easiest way is to download the windows installer for GnuGk v2.2.6 and in 
the installer contains the configuration of installing GnuGk behind a NAT box. 
You will need to do some port forwarding in the router, the installer will tell 
you which ports you need to forward. You should also install a DDNS service on 
the machine such as www.dyndns.com or www.noip.com and enter that address in 
the installer. This will configure the device to appear to be on the outside of 
the NAT so other people can contact you. 

  Go to www.pacphone.com and download the secureMCU installer and install it on 
the same machine as the gatekeeper, when installed register it with the 
gatekeeper via the web interface, make sure you set the gatekeeper username, 
that is the name for people to contact the MCU.

  For local and remote users use the pacphone client. It can be installed 
behind NAT boxes without any problems and you register the clients to the DDNS 
address you used for your gatekeeper. This will allow all your clients to talk 
to eachother. 

  To host a conference you can go to the web interface of secureMCU and invite 
users to a conference or tell everyone to call the username used for the 
gatekeeper.

  I hope that helps

    Hi, I want to enable several people at different locations to have a voice 
conference. 

    Each of them have their own ISP and behind a router. Their PC address is 
something like 192.168.0.XX. But behind different public IP address from their 
ISP using NAT.

    Is there a way for them to join Netmeeting and have a conference. I notice 
that everyone has to be on the same LAN to use netmeeting. I am not sure how 
gnugk and openmcu come into play. I tried them a little, but still cannot get 
people from other location to join me, even though I can have people on the 
same LAN connected. 


    Is it possible to join multiple people from different locations using 
netmeeting? I remember ILS served that purpose, but it is no longer supported 
by MS. Is there an alternative on linux?

    Also, when people join gnugk, is there a way for others to see the list of 
users signed on?

    thanks
    Andrew
