GSM shows as the top codec in Netmeeting's Audio prefs on the Win2K box.  Same 
situation as the other netmeeting machine I've tested with.

Well, MS-GSM is listed in the Available Audio Codecs portion of the gnomemeeting 
prefs.  Is being listed in that list enough to say that MS-GSM is "enabled" in 
gnomemeeting?  Or must the codec be listed at the *top* or *hightlighted* in the 
gnomemeeting prefs list for that specific codec to be considered enabled.  As it 
turns out, MS-GSM *is* currently at the top of the Audio Codecs prefs list of 
codecs and *is* highlighted.  Is there anything else I have to do to enable 
MS-GSM on my side?

forwarding = forward to the internal host
allowing = accept incoming connections on those ports
