Re: [GnomeMeeting-list] registering to an ILS through the gnugk proxy

[Damien Sandras <dsandras seconix com>]

Stupid question, you don't know the Gatekeeper IP either.

This is a bit complex :
- the GNU Gatekeeper doesn't permit you to be registered on ILS
- if you configure her NM to register to ILS, you will get her IP BUT if
you call that IP directly, the call won't go through the gatekeeper, ie
it won't be proxied and it won't work...

I think the best solution is this one :
- configure the GK in proxy mode
- permit calls from unregistered endpoints
- configure her a dyndns account for the firewall
- open the required ports on the firewall (no forwarding required)
- tell her to register to the GK with account "anna"
- call her with : anna gnugk dyndns org

The call will be proxied and done through the GK. No need to configure
the firewall with the dyndns IP, just open a few ports that will be used
by the GK (see their doc for that purpose).
