[Partysip-dev] Partysip problems with multiple streams

[Craig Graham]

I've started trying to get partysip to work (properly- I got it working part
way last year and gave up for a while!)

I have a few machines at home running MS Messenger. There is a Linux box
running Partysip acting as the gateway/NAT box. At the office, there are a
few XP machines, again running MS Messenger, behind an Intertex IX66 box
which is acting as a NAT and SIP server.

>From the office, we can set up a multistream session to someone on a machine
that is directly connected to the net- we can do audio, video and
Messenger's "whiteboard". From home, however, I can only set up a voice
connection. And that has to be done manually- Messenger does not show the
other party as being logged in.

I wasn't able to get the iptables-server to work; it compiles and runs in
direct mode but I cannot see how to get it to listen on the relevant port (I
think 25990). Instead I'm running a shell script that someone posted. When I
try to run the whiteboard, the shell script receives and executes the
following line;

-t nat -A PREROUTING -p udp --destination-port 30001 -j
DNAT --to-destination 10.1.1.3:27314

Looking at the output of iptables, the following has appeared;

Chain FORWARD (policy ACCEPT)
target     prot opt source               destination
ACCEPT     udp  --  0.0.0.0/0            10.1.1.3           udp dpt:27314

This would seem to suggest that the iptables side is working (although why
is there no mention of the port 30001?).

Can anyone suggest a next step? Versions are below.


The Linux box is running Mandrake9.2. It has libosip2-2.0.5 installed. If I
type partysip -V I get
