Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] 'Please install a sound card or Quicknet card'

[John Francis Lee <jfl robinlea com>]

Hello Stefan...

Thanks for the help.

I installed the quicknet card on gw, the machine which connects to the
internet.

I am trying to run gnomemeeting on gw, over the wire from my workstation
using vnc. 

The quicknet card, gnomemeeting, and the vncserver are on gw.

I am on a workstation, trying to run the gw/gnomemeeting in a vncviewer
window on my workstation.

I must run gnomemeeting on the gw machine because it has the hardware
and, as you point out, I cannot forward the hardware :-). 

I could run gnomeeting on gw itself or via vnc on my workstation if I
could run gnomemeeting on gw at all. But I can't. It is my understanding
that the gnomemeeting session must be on the machine with the hardware,
right?

Thanks again for your help.
