Hello Technoslick,

When Microsoft developed NetMeeting 3.0 they chose to use the existing h.323 video conferencing protocol. This protocol happens to be completely incompatible with standard NAT(network address translation) - the technology used for most internet sharing devices.
Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses DYNAMIC PORTS instead of STATIC PORTS.<snip> --------
So - it does not seem to be generally useful, and introduced a new batch of security problems. Too bad. It sounded good. :-)

Rikona has hit it. ICQ does this as well it seems as if you look on the net ICQ tries to use / request (I joke not) 64,000 *yes THOUSAND* Ports! jesus... no wonder IT security guys hate ICQ.
