Netmeeting and static ports for H.323

Postby Timo V » Wed Nov 02, 2005 12:21 pm

Hi! My clients have a personal firewall installed on them and i would like to
use netmeeting with the audio and video options. Since H.323 uses dynamic UDP
ports for the audio and video streams it makes a big hole in my firewalls if
i open up inbound udp 1024-65535. Is there a way to use static ports for the
audio and video streams? I have windows xp with sp2 on my clients and
netmeeting is version 3.01

H.323 (or NetMeeting's interpretation/implementation) dictates dynamic UDP
ports -- there is no way to change that requirement or expectation.
