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 wo

As to the second computer, the reason you can connect to OM using an inside address, but not an outside one, may be a function of your firewall/router. In our environment, we can't go outside to come inside. It's a security thing. We can connect to our OM server using its internal IP address

I'm not overly concerned about this, myself. It's trivial to log in using the FQDN, and get the proper link to my invitees. But, if it's a best practices thing, maybe I should make the changes in red5.properties. Right now, the directives I mentioned below are set to 0.0.0.0. Dimitri On Fr

K. The IP you’re seeing, 192.xx.xx.xxx, is an internal IP address. The way the internet is setup, there are billions of networks connected together. Imagine the router and all other computers that are connected to that router, as your network. All computers have low firewall settings within t

Yes. I did this and have never had that issue. I also have about 4 environments of Open Meetings on my machine for testing purposes. I wouldn't conclude 100%, but it's definitely worth a try! Router and firewall settings as well as firmware MAY also factor in. I can run through a test later t

Sorry to write twice. Typically your routers IP address is your entire networks external IP address. http://www.whatismyip.com/ will tell you. I’m sure you’re aware of networking, but the router handles all requests and pools them into a DB. It then determines which request goes to which machine

I've found that you need to log into OM with the FQDN of your OM server (e.g. http://openmeetings.mydomain.tld:5080/openmeetings). At first, I was using the internal address of the OM server, so my invitees were instructed to go to the meeting at http://192.168.x.x. Clearly, that didn't work.

The Derby DB went nutso on me, so I started over with MySQL. Things are working nicely now. However, when I send out an email invite, it says "localhost" which means nothing to the recipient. How do I send my IP address in the email? Further, how do I get the IP address of my PC when it goes throu
