Hi, Arnie.
>From http://www.sharethenet.com/faq.html#software-dialpad.com :
How do I set up ShareTheNet 2.1 so that I can use Dialpad.com?
Add the following lines to your startup script:
ipautofw -A -r udp 51200 51201 -c tcp 7175
ipautofw -A -r tcp 51210 51210 -c tcp 7175
It works pretty good for me, except that the person on the other end hears
his voice echoed. Can't beat the price, though!
