a. Cisco PIX firewall configuration issue: The Cisco

document at www.cisco.com/warp/public/707/28.html

details a problem regarding accepting data from a

system outside the firewall and offers the solution. The

solution allows external systems to communicate with

those inside the PIX firewall, allowing the

videoconference to take place. Please refer to the

sections “Allowing Untrusted Hosts Access to Hosts

on Your Trusted Network” and “Disabling NAT” of the

Cisco document.
