[GnomeMeeting-list] GnomeMeeting behind NAT

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

Hi all;


Several of you had problems with GnomeMeeting behind NAT. There were not
many solutions : RSIP, Newnat patch (buggy), Gatekeeper as a proxy.

GnomeMeeting 0.94 has been delayed of a few days because a new solution
was found (thanks to Roger for the idea) : IP Translation.
You can choose in the GUI to enable or not IP Translation to the IP of
the NAT/PAT router, you can also specify the IP to translate to. Bug if
you register to ils.seconix.com, the ILS service will be used to
determine the IP to use.

Thanks to that solution, port forwarding is enough to make GnomeMeeting
work behind a NAT/PAT router. GnomeMeeting also supports now to change
the used port ranges, it means that you can have several GnomeMeeting
running at the same time behind a NAT/PAT router. The "listening port"
for incoming connections, is registered to ILS, it means that whatever
the port you are listening on, your callto URL doesn't change (for
example, callto://ils.seconix.com/dsandras seconix com will always work
when you are registered to ILS).
