As it's LAN, you most probably didn't use MS-GSM with NetMeeting (which is extra to install, see the codec unlocker on gnomemeeting.org) so of course the quality was good. That however needs at least 10-12kB/s on the network in each direction. So you might want to use OpenPhone on Win32 until GM/Win32 is ready, unless you have the bandwidth (and that 12kB/s is *only* audio, video not yet counting).. > Your faq talks about making sure that I can get through my firewall > before registering. I assume that gnomemeeting works through a server > simular to AOL's aim. Well, there's a server involved, but it doesn't connect THROUGH it, only TO it. That's a users register. So all GM does is tell it where it's at and what status it has. (plus your name, comment etc.) Making sure to get thru firewall is thus to open the required ports as laid out in the FAQ so that the average public internet can connect to at least TCP port 1720 and UDP ports 5000-5007. > If this is the case, how do I verify that I can > get through the firewall without registering. This is being verified, when you open the GM addressbook and list ils.seconix.com. If you see entries in there instead of just three lines that tell you to check your setup, that's fine. Same has to apply for the setup of your daughter. > My planed use, I am in Texas and my daughter is in New York, at > college.

But it may be likely that the student facilities at university campus are firewalled. Then there's quite few you can do about that but try with some tunneling like openvpn. > I haven't been able to find the manual that is mentioned on the webpage. http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php?rub=3&pos=0&faqpage=x266.html is the entire section about firewall.. The full FAQ is at http://www.gnomemeeting.org/index.php?rub=3 -- Best regards, Kilian
