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
