Simon,
Do they have to be on the same LAN?
Here is my gnugk.ini,
Is there correct?

GnuGK is a gatekeeper to handle registrations
secureMCU is a Multi-point Conference Unit.
Your
users register with your gatekeeper with a name which they can be contacted
with. They then can call the MCU and eachother.

Thanks Simon,
I have static IPs from the ISP. I am running a
linux server with a static IP. How can I tell all users to use my server and
make connections?
I don't understand what feature does gnugk and
openmcu offer. I thought they give me the capability of connecting many
users. But I might be missing something.

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

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
