I sent a note out about 4 months ago about using my Intel Webcam (christmas present) behind the firewall. I understand that it uses the H323 protocol and there were problems using this device behind firewalls. I could see and hear the other person, they could only see me, no voice. Does anybody know if there have been any developments on this? Thank you.
I'm waiting for news on the same subject. There is a module out that will allow some H.323 clients to talk (I use Netmeeting 3 and it only supports v2 down) but it only runs on Linux 2.0 kernels. I am hoping that someone is working on a version for 2.2 kernels and if I am extremely lucky it will support v3 of Netmeeting. I have also been told several times that you can just open up the ports in your firewall and forward them to the client of choice, but I have read the list of ports and it leaves a HUGE gaping hole in your firewall if you do this. I have also not heard from anyone successfuly doing it so I haven't wasted my time with it. Instead I patiently wait for progress to catch up, and curse MS for writing such a popular program that uses 10 BILLION (exageration) ports dynamically on more than one protocol. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Darren R.
