That is correct --generally the only way to have inbound calls(if you are behind a router) is for the called computer to be the designated dmz client(it could also be a gatekeeper but generally that is overkill for a home setup -- as it involves extra expense and hassle) and for the call to be made to the wan IP of the router(the IP the isp assigns to the router). Often use of the dmz is also required for full function audio/video calls outgoing (some routers have a built in alg to support outgoing H.323 calls -- if this is your case-- as it seems to be-- then forwarding tcp 1503 and 1720 will probably allow incoming calls). if the dmz is used the dmz computer should be running a software firewall(correctly configured for NetMeeting naturally) to avoid exposure. ------------------------ Yahoo!
