Look at something like no-ip.com, where you can attach a domain to a
dynamic address. they have a free version

David,
Ours is an enterprise set-up, so we can obviously do things that a
home or small
business user can't. So, for example, we have OM running in a VMware
virtual
machine. Using NAT and port forwarding in our firewall router, we're
easily
able to send OM meeting requests from out in the world. Anyway, ...
The 192.168.x.x addy on your XP box is known as a non-routable
address; the
outside world couldn't use it. Your ISP must have provided you with
an
external IP address. It might be static, but I suspect it's dynamic,
in which
case you may have a problem. But, in any case, you need to configure
your
router such that any incoming traffic on port 5080 (or whatever your
OM is
using) is routed to the machine on which OM runs.

Dimitri,
Your comment raises a lot of questions for me.
First, are you using a laptop/desktop for your server? If so, how
did you
get a domain name for it?
Second, using 'ipconfig' on my XP, I got a 192.168.x.x address that
worked
fine from my 2nd computer. Was that only because it is on the same
side of
the modem? Would that address not work for the rest of the world to
use?
Thanks!
