As I understand it, h.323 can call for any port in the 1024-65535 range to be opened, but it only asks for specific ones. It doesn't open up the whole range, as would be necessary if you did it directly on the router, as I would have to do, I think. As far as I can tell the router I have at present can not handle this. I really do recommend reading the pages at http://www.gnomemeeting.org/faq/ It has a page dedicated to working behind a firwall, too. The other thing that looks important to me is the link to OpenGatekeeper. I haven't quite got it all in context yet, but I think the combination of these two pieces of software will prove the way ahead. The url for OenGatekeeper is http://opengatekeeper.sourceforge.net/ Anne
