Hello,

I would like to use Messenger to videoconference.
I have computer behind firewall. It connects to MS server and I can to write
with other person who is conected to the Internet for example in other
country.
The problem is that video and sound don't work. When I connect with other
people who are in LAN it works perfectly.

For experiment I move my computer before firewall and it is working. I can
talk and watch other people who connected to the Internet and they the same.

I think that there is a problem with IP adres, because when computer is
behind firewall it has IP adres 192.168.x.x and messenger other person want
to conect to this adress, so it never connects.
In the second solution computer IP adress is external and it works.

And my question is:

Is there any solution to do this, that when my computer is behind firewall
and it may connects to other messenger, which are in Internet, and that
sound and video work ? It have to work when I connect to other person, and
other want to conect to me.

Maybe solution is to place special computer before firewall and connects
from computer which is behind firewall via this computer? But what software
have to be instaled on this special computer? Maybe proxy server? Any idea?
