NetMeeting uses random ports, so a normal router won't work unless you
pinhole everything ... which can lead to some undesireable consequences ;).
As for the internal modems ... they fall prey to all the normal Dial Up
Networking problems, (not sure about this under win2k platform tho). Rather
try a Cisco or 3comm router, they tend to come with a lot more options for
NAT and security etc ....

Why not try using a third party external ADSL 'modem' - which I
understand
are now available as an option to renting the M10/M11/M1122. 3Com and
Dynalink have some cheap models available around the $400 mark.

Cheers

Currently I have an M1122 feeding into my firewall. The M1122 has two
pinhole entries to NAT all TCP and UDP to the firewall. Some things do
not
work because of the NATing (Net Meeting voice, IRC server).

I want to swap the external router/modem for an internal one as it does
not
NAT (correct?). I would like to put it in a Windows2000 server, however
I
hear that the drivers are only in beta and might not work. Anyone know
otherwise?

I read with interest the items in the archives about putting in a *nix
firewall, as one person pointed out an openBSD default configuration has
yet
to be broken remotely. Sounds like a good option, but not one I can
follow
as I have to use the MS products, in this case the new Internet Security
and
Acceleration server. If however, the drivers are not available, it
might be
a *nix box.

Thanks for any input, Neal Blackie.
