The one of the DSL router. There is also an option that permits to
automatically discover that IP address.

So all ports from the FAQ have to be forwarded from D to L and then from
L to H.

See above. Your public IP is the one from the DSL router, the one on
which people are calling you, that's where the remote GM has to send
packets. They are then forwarded from the DSL router to the Linux
machine, and then from the Linux machine to the machine running GM.

Don't forget to enable IP translation in the gnomemeeting preferences
though.
