RE: H.323 woes...

G'day Guy,

H.323 is almost impossible to get working through a firewall, even more so if there's a firewall at each end.  There are some "H.323 Gatekeepers" that are available for some firewall/router platforms, however I'd flick the old H.323 gear and use SIP instead as that's a lot easier to get working.

This has been an issue right from the start with H.323 due to poor design of the protocol with respect to NATting.
