Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I use NetMeeting with my D-Link Router?

Unlike most TCP/IP applications, NetMeeting uses

DYNAMIC PORTS

instead of

STATIC PORTS. That means that each NetMeeting connection is somewhat different

than the last. For instance, the HTTP web site application uses port 80. NetMeeting

can use any of over 60,000 different ports.

All broadband routers using (only) standard NAT and all internet sharing programs like

Microsoft ICS that use (only) standard NAT will NOT work with NetMeeting or other

h.323 software packages.

The solution is to put the router in DMZ.

Note:

A few hardware manufacturers have taken it on themselves to actually provide

H.323 compatibility. This is not an easy task since the router must search each

incoming packet for signs that it might be a netmeeting packet. This is a whole lot

more work than a router normally does and may actually be a

weak point in the

firewall

. D-Link is not one of the manufacturers.

Frequently Asked Questions (continued)

How do I send or receive a file via iChat when the Mac OSX firewall

is active? -for Macintosh users- Mac OS X 10.2 and later

“iChat cannot send or receive a file when the Mac OS X firewall is active in its default

state. If you have opened the AIM port, you may be able to receive a file but not send

them.

In its default state, the Mac OS X firewall blocks file transfers using iChat or America

Online AIM software. If either the sender or receiver has turned on the Mac OS X firewall,

the transfer may be blocked.

The simplest workaround is to temporarily turn off the firewall in the Sharing preference

pane on both computers. This is required for the sender. However, the receiver may keep

the firewall on if the AIM port is open. To open the AIM port:

If you do not want to turn off the firewall at the sending computer, a different file sharing

service may be used instead of iChat. The types of file sharing available in Mac OS X are

outlined in technical document 106461, "Mac OS X: File Sharing" in the

AppleCare Knowl-

edge base

online.

Note: If you use a file sharing service when the firewall is turned on, be sure to click the

Firewall tab and select the service you have chosen in the "Allow" list. If you do not do

this, the firewall will also block the file sharing service. “

The following information is from the online Macintosh AppleCare knowledge base:

Step 1

Choose Apple menu > System Preferences.

Step 2

Choose View > Sharing.

Step 3

Click the Firewall tab.

Step 4

Click New.

Step 5

Choose AOL IM from the Port Name pop-up menu. The number 5190

should already be filled in for you.

Step 6

Click OK.
