Hi All, My company would like to set up inexpensive video-conferencing. They've been bugging me for a solution for some time. The partner company, being All Windows, All The Time, of course immediately suggested NetMeeting. ISTR a discussion about NetMeeting here, perhaps prompted by me, and, IIRC, it pretty much requires one make swiss cheese of their firewall for it to work. I vetoed it, and management backed me up. Doing a search on "NetMeeting" on SecurityFocus was not encouraging, either. Recently they bought me an iBook to do some WebObjects development with. It just hit me today that maybe Apple's iSight product would do the trick for video conferencing. Problem is: I've no idea what iSight would need through the firewall. There's this: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030623203213301 If 5060 and 16384 through 16403 UDP are all that are required, and I can specify the only allowed IP address inside they would forward to, well, that might be acceptable. Comments? Opinions? Suggestions? Flames? ;) Thanks, Jim -- Jim Seymour | PGP Public Key available at: jseymour () LinxNet com | http://www.uk.pgp.net/pgpnet/pks-commands.html http://jimsun.LinxNet.com | _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
