Windows XP Real-Time Communication Client Support for Network Address Translation (Q316397) | |
|

Thanks Josh. "Real-Time Communication (RTC) client communications may not work if the client is located behind a Network Address Translation (NAT) device. The hotfix that is described in this article enables NAT-aware programs to configure the RTC API to use the correct address and port when it sets up the audio or video streams. After you install this hotfix, clients that are located behind the NAT device can use audio and video communications with other clients or gateways that are located outside the NAT device. Note that this hotfix does not help clients that are located behind a NAT device to connect to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) server. This hotfix does not enable Microsoft Windows Messenger clients that are located behind a NAT device to use audio and video with each other. However, the hotfix does enable Windows Messenger clients that are located behind a NAT device to communicate with phone gateways. " | ||

true, true...all of this should have been fixed prior to launch..but then again, they have ALWAYS released first and fixed later......... This post was edited by Tegument on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 at 12:50. |

Umm... Working well behind a NAT device is all part of the Universal Plug & Play people were braying about a month ago.
My Linksys BEFSR11 router with the latest firmware supposedly now supports this, but I have not taken the time to try to configure it. |

The interface for that router should be like the BEFSR41, all that should be required is to enable the UPnP option (if you see one, it was in an earlier firmware, but don't see it in 1.42.3 so it may be on by default), and Messenger's Voice/Video features should work. No other configuration needed. You should also gain port-forwarding and enable/disable controls for the router within Windows' Netwwork Connections dialog.

| So this is worthwhile for NAT users wanting PC-to-Phone with Messenger, but moot for everyone else. For voice and video conferencing with Messenger, NAT users still need to rely upon their router vendor releasing a firmware update, unless, of course, they want to open the router's DMZ. |
