Damien, you'll have to excuse me but my 67 year old mind doesn't seem to work as well as it used to. I don't have a router but a direct connection to the internet. The NAT test tells me I have nothing to do but pass on to the next screen. How does GM help me penetrate the NAT in front of their machine? > It won't always work, because NM is not able to do H.245 Tunneling, so > sometimes the call will fail, but tehre is unfortunately no way to > prevent that.

Can't recall just what they were but will try again. If and when a Windows version of GM is released will it resolve my problem? I've a 6 week old grand-daughter who lives 300 miles (about 500km) away so the only way to watch her progress on a regular basis is through videoconferencing. And I really HATE having to reboot into Windows with all its attendant headaches.
