HEllo chris! I am using a quite small port range with our bridgeserver here at our institute, only allowing a port range of 4 ports, which is exactly what is needed to bridge one room. For example:
#HLRS AG Room on ANL Server [https://hume.mcs.anl.gov:9000/Venues/000000f5569d3f0a008c00dd000b003761b] type=Venue portMin=50096 portMax=50099 Two ports are allocated for audio (in/out) and two ports are allocated for video (in/out). Works quite stable. Michael ------------------ Dipl.-Inf.

I think there's something amiss with port number allocations when min/max are so close. I previously tried a narrow range like yours (in order to try to generate specific, repeatable port numbers), but it didn't work as expected. Unfortunately I didn't have time to track down the problem, so left it to the bridge service to select port numbers from a wide range. chris Christoph Willing Ph: +61 7 3365 8350 QPSF Access Grid Manager University of Queensland
