Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] Re: Connection Problem

ummm.... why putting ppp as his connection in Netmeeting might  create
probs?!?
and if firewall would be an issue, why would I still get at least 0-5
seconds of image from him?

I know a bit about firewalling (configured a few myself) but am not
declaring myself an expert. Still, getting only a part of the transmission
through a firewall doesn't make much sense...

P.S. As soon as I can get him to help me debug it I will post the results.
