I have Smoothwall gpl 1.0 firewall and behind it a mandrake box and a w***ows xp box (sorry) which I wish to have netmeetings on. I have found out that I need something called h232 but that's all I've found out.
Hi Dave,
At great personal risk of being thrown off the ALUG list as a heretic I too must humble myself and confess my sin of wandering from the pathway of the followers of Tux and admit that I regularly run NetMeeting on a Windoze box behind a Smoothwall 1.0. (Don't worry - ALUGers are usually quite tolerant of our newbie foibles! ;-)
To allow your Windoze machine to make OUTGOING NetMeeting calls (haven't yet sussed how to allow incoming ones) you will need to upload the H323 Masquerading Module called ip_masq_h323.o (available from: http://quarkav.com/SmoothWallGPL/static/files/2.2.23/ipv4/ip_masq_h323.o) to your SmoothWall GPL 1.0 /lib/modules/2.2.23/ipv4 directory. Once this has been done, you will then need to modify the /etc/rc.d/rc.network file and add the following line after the last "modprobe" line:
/sbin/modprobe ip_masq_h323
Save the file, delete the rc.network~ file (if it is present) and reboot your Smoothie. Once it has rebooted, point your Windoze box browser at your smoothie and have a look at the "Information" page. Scroll down to see the list of Loaded modules, and you should notice that ip_masq_h323 is listed. If this is the case, then the module is loaded, and you are a happy teddy bear!
Have fun!
Ian.
