- MS Netmeeting, Intel Internet Phone Beta , and other H.323 applications - There are now two solutions to accomplish this through IPMASQed connections:

There is a stable BETA 2.2.x kernel module available on the MASQ WWW site or at http://www.coritel.it/projects/nat/implementation.htm to work with Microsoft Netmeeting v3.x code on 2.2.x kernels. There is also another module version on the MASQ WWW site specifically for Netmeeting 2.x with 2.0.x kernels, but this does not support Netmeeting v3.x.

Another commercial solution is the Equivalence's PhonePatch H.323 gateway.

all supported clients. Requires the Linux kernel to be either compiled with PORTFW support, have the ip_masq_icq module (2.2.x and 2.0.x only), or have a SOCKS proxy running. A full description of this configuration is in Section 6.9.

Windows, Peer-to-peer audio communications, users can reach you only if you initiate the call, but those users cannot call you without a specific port forwarding setup. See Section 6.7for more details.

Windows, network streaming audio

Works but requires TCP ports 116, 118 and UDP port 6112 IPPORTFWed to the client game machine. See Section 6.7for more details. Please note that FSGS and Bnetd servers still require IPPORTFW because they have not been re-written to be NAT-friendly.

Works with LooseUDP patch and new NAT-friendly -- email David Ranch for the .DLLs from Activision

Works with LooseUDP patch or requires TCP ports 116 and 118 and UDP port 6112 IPPORTFWed to the game machine. See Section 6.7for more details.

Works with LooseUDP patch or requires TCP ports 116 and 118 and UDP port 6112 IPPORTFWed to the game machine. Newer versions of Diablo use only TCP port 6112 and UDP port 6112. See Section 6.7for more details.

Works with LooseUDP patch or requires TCP ports 116 and 118 and UDP port 6112 IPPORTFWed to the game machine. See Section 6.7for more details.

Works right out of the box but requires the ip_masq_quake module if there are more than one Quake I/II/III player behind a MASQ box. Also, this module only supports Quake I and QuakeWorld by default. If you need to support Quake II or non-default server ports, please see the module install section of Section 3.4.3 and Section 3.4.2 rulesets.

Works with the LooseUDP patch, IPPORTFWing TCP, and UDP ports 6112 to the internal MASQed game machine. See Section 6.7for more details.
