I've found a workaround for a similar issue I had with SQL going through a few firewalls at the Bank of America network, getting it's address translated each time... It would look at it's physical internal address, and use that one when it called out to our app server as the address to reply to. Of course, it wasn't the address we used to get IN to the firewall to connect to it, so the app wouldn't work. For the interim period we gave it's NIC the external address that it's physical address ultimately got translated from. Since it was on a different network, it at least didn't cause us any issues, and the machine had the "correct" address to pass back to us to connect from outside. Since it was a different subnet, the address on this machine didn't cause conflicts since there were no other machines with that address range on this network. Granted, we couldn't have talked to that particular IP on the network it really existed on, but since that IP was only used to translate to the physical box anyway, it had no need to "talk to itself".
Granted, it's not a happy answer, but it *does* work, and depending on your topology, may not cause any issues as far as IP conflicts go. Of course, if you're on an OS that doesn't allow multiple IP's on the same card, then you'd be stuck anyway. Worth looking into.

Is there anybody successfully doing this? I want to use Video and audio portions of netmeeting. On the sonicwall I added the video conference protocol and rules. Is there any otheres I can add? -Curtis --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude/F-Prot AV] ============================================================================ ======================= To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the email put the following: unsubscribe sonicwall your_name The archive of this list is at http://www.mail-archive.com/sonicwall%40peake.com/ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude/F-Prot AV] ============================================================================ ======================= To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the email put the following: unsubscribe sonicwall your_name The archive of this list is at http://www.mail-archive.com/sonicwall%40peake.com/ --- [This E-mail scanned for viruses by Declude/F-Prot AV] =================================================================================================== To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the body of the email put the following: unsubscribe sonicwall your_name The archive of this list is at http://www.mail-archive.com/sonicwall%40peake.com/
