Say the netmeeting plugin is modified so that you can specify what the IP address is. Are you going to setup an inbound masquerade rule for each of the boxes that need to do this? If so, yeah, we can add that. Put in a feature request. I think in reality there's a bigger problem, though, which is that Netmeeting isn't firewall-friendly. -- Joe Hildebrand Denver, CO, USA > -----Original Message----- > From: Damon Register [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Tuesday, April 20, 2004 12:29 PM > To: Discussion list for all things > Subject: [Exodus] Netmeeting plugin and NAT > > > I see that with the Netmeeting plugin, when I request a > Netmeeting call of someone, his computer opens Netmeeting and > makes the call back to me.
