Title: Messenger and WebCam
Post by: SAVIN Jérome on June 18, 2002, 05:08:41 PM

I'm very sorry. I posted this message in the wrong phorum (whish)
Here it's better.

Hello,

I tried the module described in http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=19927.msg78381#msg78381 ( about sharing files with windows messenger)
on SME 5.1.2 and it works great for sending files with Windows messenger.
But I have a Philips TouCam Pro, and I cannot initialize the video connection through SME. Inside the personnal network it's great, but from inside to outside, the video connection fails saying " the computer you tried to reach has a problem, please try later".

My configuration is : 2 XP Pro with windows messenger behind 2 SME 5.1.2 with on both the module loaded. (I don't use squid)
==> Chat ok
==> files ok
==> voice and video , connection failed

My questions are :
Is there a module for that ?
Do I mistake somewhere ?

PS : Sorry for my poor english.

SAVIN Jérome.

the ports needed for video and audio are closed outside the server.
Then, you can see and hear within your network but you are behind a "firewall" that prevents your lan and/or server to be accessed by ports that are not suposed to accept incoming or outgoing traffic.

Hello,

Can it works forwarding ports from SME to a client behind SME ?

Bye.

I found that while browsing the web :

MSN Messenger
(Watch Out! Opens a wide port range!)
NOTE: Shut off any personal firewall programs such as BlackIce, ZoneAlarm, etc.  
Ports 6891-6900 enable File send,
Port 6901 is for voice communications
Allows Voice, PC to Phone, Messages, and Full File transfer capabilities.
Thnx to Brad King & Bill Finch Jr.

H.323 compliant video player,

due to NetMeeting assigning ports dynamically.)

IN      TCP     1503    1503

I want to try this solution, but I cannot be the same time on both clients !

Does someone as tried this ?

Bye.
