Josep, I fully understand the basis of a firewall, but am very 
inexperienced in the details.  In my case shorewall is on my local 
box.  I have a hardware router/firewall that is the first line of 
defence, but it does not allow me to open ranges of ports, just 
individual ones, so I decided that the easiest and most practical 
solution would be to go dmz for the duration of a call, with 
shorewall giving me local protection.

I assume, therefore, that dnat is not applicable in this case.  Nor, I 
think is forwarding?  I may well be totally wrong - as I said, I am 
feeling my way in this, and would be grateful for any help you can 
give me.

BTW - I have started a GnomeMeeting page on the Mandrake Community 
TWiki, so any help I get on this will end up on there too, to help 
others in future.

Anne
