Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Asymmetrical GM<->GM problem - solved

[Jeffrey Dever <jsdever sympatico ca>]

Damien, you are the master.

I had assumed that being on the DMZ made all those problems go away. 
All I had to do for my router (D-Link  DI-704P) was to enable IP 
Translation, and disable Tunnelling as you suggested.  I am using 
dyndns, so I'll read those parts of the FAQ in more detail now.  Can I 
just enter a dyndns.org hostname for the public IP of the router?

Gnomemeeting is a killer application for me that keeps me (and Eva) off 
of windows.  Great work.  Any way I can flip you some cash?  You 
mentioned that you needed a new keyboard or somthing.  Do you have a 
PayPal account?

Thanks again,
-jsd
