Hi, I actually want to allow internal folks to initiate a netmeeting session with somebody on the net. and vise versa. The session starts but one using MSN initially to be in a chat session and then initiating netmeeting.
It somehow did not work both ways at all.

The article seems to be aimed at an end-user who is trying to configure a personal firewall to allow Netmeeting connections out. The big scary-looking range of ports (1024-65535) are outbound UDP ports, which is a very common requirement. A lot of firewalls allow this by default because it can be (sometimes incorrectly) assumed that a connection originating from behind the firewall going out to the internet should be allowed. If you are trying to set up a server for other people to connect into, though, your requirements will probably be different. I could be reading it wrong, but it doesn't seem like the article from MS really adresses that. -Jeff > -----Original Message----- > From: Sarbjit Singh Gill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 11, 2002 2:37 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: NetScreen XP and NetMeeting > > > Greetings, > > As the subject goes, i need to get net meeting to work via > NetScreen.
