I don=B4t know any details about how MSN Talking works but I guess that = it is like all other similar programs. If this is the case the application = chooses random ports for the voice-traffic (within a limited scope). This means = that you either have to open up your firewall for all these ports (that = means a BIG hole through the firewall) or use a firewall that understands the signalling and can open upp the specified ports for a short duration. = The last option is of course the best way to go about it but as far as I = know this kind of software does not exist yet. This is a big problem for all Voice over IP right now but hopefully this will be solved soon. Correct = me if I=B4m wrong. << Urban > -----Original Message----- > From: Vander Francisco [mailto:vander@vanderland.com] > Sent: Friday, May 25, 2001 2:02 AM > To: freebsd-questions > Subject: Voice over IP >=20 >=20 > +----------+ +---------------+ = +-----------------------------+ > | Internet + --> | FreeBSD 4.3 | | WinME = | > +----------+ | NAT | --> | MSN Talking (Voice PC to PC = | > | Firewall open | = +-----------------------------+ > +---------------+ >=20 >=20 > Does anybody know how to make the MSN Talking (Voice PC to PC) = traffic > trough my firewall ? >=20 > I use the standard firewall with the option "open" >=20 > Also I do redirect others ports to internal machine witch is=20 > my Web Cam > stream video >=20 > Do I need a special software to make this possible ? >=20 > Thanks >=20 > --------------------------------------------------------- > Vander Francisco > MCP ID# 2018563 - ICQ# 23673544 > --------------------------------------------------------- > mailto:vander@vanderland.com > mailto:vander2000@home.com > mailto:vfrancis@mwe.com > http://www.vanderland.com > --------------------------------------------------------- >=20 >=20 > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message >=20 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
