Th easiest way is to 
download the windows installer for GnuGk v2.2.6 and in the installer contains 
the configuration of installing GnuGk behind a NAT box. You will need to do some 
port forwarding in the router, the installer will tell you which ports you need 
to forward. You should also install a DDNS service on the machine such as www.dyndns.com or www.noip.com and enter 
that address in the installer. This will configure the device to appear to be on 
the outside of the NAT so other people can contact you. 

Go to www.pacphone.com 
and download the secureMCU installer and install it on the same machine as the 
gatekeeper, when installed register it with the gatekeeper via the web 
interface, make sure you set the gatekeeper username, that is the name for 
people to contact the MCU.

For local and remote 
users use the pacphone client. It can be installed behind NAT boxes 
without any problems and you register the clients to the DDNS address you used 
for your gatekeeper. This will allow all your clients to talk to 
eachother. 

To host a 
conference you can go to the web interface of secureMCU and invite 
users to a conference or tell everyone to call the username used for 
the gatekeeper.

I hope 
that helps

   How do I setup a conference server

  Hi, I want to enable several people at different 
  locations to have a voice conference. 

  Each of them have their own ISP and behind a 
  router. Their PC address is something like 192.168.0.XX. But behind different 
  public IP address from their ISP using NAT.

  Is there a way for them to join Netmeeting and 
  have a conference. I notice that everyone has to be on the same LAN to use 
  netmeeting. I am not sure how gnugk and openmcu come into play. I tried them a 
  little, but still cannot get people from other location to join me, even 
  though I can have people on the same LAN connected. 

  Is it possible to join multiple people from 
  different locations using netmeeting? I remember ILS served that purpose, but 
  it is no longer supported by MS. Is there an alternative on 
linux?

  Also, when people join gnugk, is there a way for 
  others to see the list of users signed on?

  thanks
  Andrew
