Oops! I've been wrong before but I don't intentionally spread
mis-information. Sorry!

P> Nope, I don't think dialpad.com uses the H.323 protocol. I may be wrong, but

P> Not a problem, the only thing you have to do to make dialpad work is to
P> redirect a few ports to one of your local machines, and it works fine on
P> that 1 machine.  Here's the ports to redirect:
P> 51210 tcp
P> 51200 udp
P> 51201 udp

P> Since it's easy for me to find, here's the commands I was using when I
P> had ipfw/natd setup:
P> redirect_port   tcp     172.20.172.3:51210      51210
P> redirect_port   udp     172.20.172.3:51200      51200
P> redirect_port   udp     172.20.172.3:51201      51201

P> this was in my /etc/natd.conf file. Of course, replace the 172.20.172.3 with
P> whatever the IP# is for the machine you want dialpad to work on.

P> I just switched to a ipf/ipnat setup, so I have those commands handy too,
P> here
P> they are from my /etc/ipnat.conf:
P> rdr xl0 208.0.0.0/8 port 51210 -> 172.20.172.3 port 51210 tcp
P> rdr xl0 208.0.0.0/8 port 51200 -> 172.20.172.3 port 51200 udp
P> rdr xl0 208.0.0.0/8 port 51201 -> 172.20.172.3 port 51201 udp

P> I am using 208.0.0.0/8 to make sure it works with my dynamic IP#

P> Hope this is what you needed!
