RE: [cobalt-users] Qube3 and MSN Messenger

["James Nesbitt \(IHQ Network\)" <ihq-network@xxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the link to the information on the MS site; although it is
informative and interesting - it didn't help to much for the follow 4
reasons:
1)	The firewall on the Qube is NOT enabled.
2)	I'm using Windows 2000 and NOT Windows XP
3)	The problem doesn't exist if we do NOT go through the Qube
4)	If doesn't rell me how to tell the Qube how to let the relevant traffic
through.


Regards,

James Nesbitt

Hi,

You might want to use a firewall that has uPNP support, that way the
client can use webcam, voice, and remote desktop. Outside messenger useres
can connect to your clients aswell.

BUT, it is not very secure, uPNP allows the client to open ports and NAT
them thru to the client  =:()

Wonder when a virus make a use of this!
