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.

Curtis,

I tried to do this, with the same setup,  with out any luck.  what I found
was that when netmeeting announces itself, it queries its local nic address
and says meet me at 192.168.0.x and so nobody outside of your lan can reach
you at that address.  the only way that it will work is with a public
address in the wan or dmz.  if anyone has found any different, please let us
know.

Anybody know if it is possible to have netmeeting session from the LAN to
the Internet when NAT is being used. 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
