With this, you can test that a lower-level connection is working (outside of
gnomemeeting).
The H323 ports (from the GnomeMeeting FAQ):

Here is the list of ports that you need to allow and forward to your
internal computer:
* TCP port 1720, that port can be changed if you modify the
"/apps/gnomemeeting/general/listen_port" key using gconf-editor,
* TCP port range [30000-30010], that range of ports can be changed
if you modify the "/apps/gnomemeeting/general/tcp_port_range"
key using gconf-editor, if you and the remote H.323 software
calling you are using H.245 Tunneling, then you don't need to
allow and forward this range of ports. Netmeeting doesn't
support H.245 Tunneling, so you always need to allow and forward
this range of ports if you plan to call or be called by
Netmeeting clients.
* UDP port range [5000-5003], that range of ports can be changed
if you modify the "/apps/gnomemeeting/general/udp_port_range"
key using gconf-editor,

Let's say your public IP is 81.82.48.202, you could try to netcat/telnet to it as
telnet 81.82.48.202 1720
telnet 81.82.48.202 30001
(make sure to open gnomemeeting first).
To check if something is listening there.
If it gets no connection, than that is the first problem to look at.

I know the feeling, GnomeMeeting is a pain to set up...
I'd say, stick with the default ils (ils.seconix.com), but enable registering to it in
preferences.

That should be fixed if you set it up to register in the preferences. The ils server
I tried doesn't require registering.

As it said you were not registered, I guess it tried to contact the only user it could

There's a FAQ there, it helped me a little, but it doesn't anwer all specifics (things
that are different for each setup, like proxies, ...)
