I just tried this:
1. Start GnomeMeeting
2. Open addressbook
3. Click find all contacts
which returns:
* You have to register to see other registered users
* If you registered and see this message, it means that you are
unreachable from the outside.
* Don't forget to check the FAQ on http://www.gnomemeeting.org
Well reading over the FAQ I see that NAT and the firewall are the likely
culprits. (Although I think GnomeMeeting should have informed me that I
had failed to register at ils.seconix.com instead of letting me assume I
had.)
I was hoping to just quickly set this up and play around with it, but
fiddling with the firewall (never a pleasant task) and trying to figure
out how on earth NAT port forwarding would work (I have an ADSL router
which I think doesn't use NAT and connected to that a Wireless base
station which I think does) is just too much bother. What a shame.
Best, Darren
