Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Recipe for Netmeeting, NAT success

[Marc Williams <marcw onlymooo com>]

It would seem that I finally have a handle on the syntax of the new
gnugk.ini file if anyone is interested in using the CVS version of
openh323 GNU Gatekeeper.  There's been some substantial differences in
the syntax, language, directives, and even spelling of the new ini
file.  What follows is what seems to work for me with only light testing
(comments sprinkled in by me):

[Gatekeeper::Main]
Fourtytwo=42
# New and required for CVS
ConfigVersion=2.1alpha24

[RoutedMode]
GKRouted=1
H245Routed=1
AcceptUnregisteredCalls=1
SupportNATedEndpoints=1
H245PortRange=30000-30020
Q931PortRange=40000-40020

# spelling change follows
[RasSrv::ARQFeatures]
CallUnregisteredEndpoints=1

# new for CVS - not sure if it's required
[RasSrv::RRQAuth]
default=confirm

[Proxy]
Enable=1
RTPPortRange=50000-50020


[GkStatus::Auth]
rule=allow

[Gatekeeper::Auth]
default=allow

# new and required for CVS
[Gatekeeper::DestAnalysis]
OverlapSendDestAnalysis=optional
default=allow

#END

Notes:
The CVS version seems to have fixed the issue of no video in a NM to GM
call.

There are directives in the above new ini file that are held over from
my old ini file but that are not needed.  I left them in there because
a) it makes switching back easier and b) it doesn't seem to hurt
anything i.e. the new gnugk doesn't complain about an ini file that
contains old directives.

I've modified my port ranges from my earlier post.  This has nothing to
do with CVS.  It's just something I've been tweaking for various
reasons.  If you do this too, don't forget to modify your router
settings.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that there are some additional
things I should be doing with the CVS version.  Coming by relevant
documentation for CVS is a little difficult so I'm just mostly winging
it.  But hey; so far it works.
