[AG-TECH] Troubles Accessing Venues: some more clarification...

[Fabrizio.Berdondini@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello Tom and all,
due to the high number of threads/replies
about this matter, i'm going to point out the main issues/tries done by
me and my fellows in this days. 

- Elements of our system:
1) VenueServer for AG2.4
2) VenueServer for AG3.0
3) A number of clients for AG2.4 (some
desktop machines, the notebook of my fellows, my notebook)
4) Two clients for AG 3.0 (my notebook
and the one of one of my fellows)

All the clients should have, as far
as now, all ports opened for TCP/UDP.

- First Try: inside LAN
In this first configuration all the
above mentionned machines (both clients and servers) where connected inside
our LAN.
We tried to connect all the 2.4 clients
to the VenueServer without any problem (we got a certificate for each user/machine),
we tried text chat, shared applications, videoconference, all was fine.
No problem also connecting the two AG3
clients to the AG3 VenueServer.

- Second Try: public IP for VenueServers
In this second configuration we gave
a public IP to the two VenueServer machines,  *same* configuration
for the client machines. We also run an "extra" VenueClient on
both the 2.4 and 3.0 server machines, each one connected to the "local"
lobby venue.
When we tried to connect to the lobby
venue with the AG2.4 clients the connection was refused, saying the venue
was unreachable. However looking onto the VenueClient running on the server
machine (the "extra" one) I can see the clients as they were
connected to the venue (but no audio-video of course). If we try many times
to connect to the lobby venue with the clients, we can see  as many
instances of each client as the number of trials we did to connect it to
that venue.
No trouble, however, for connecting
the AG3 clients to the server.

- Third try: the AG2/AG3 lobby at ANL
When connected to the lobby venue for
AG2.4/3 at the ANL node, I cannot see audio/video from other users (i cannot
see their names into VIC and RAT btw). Furthermore, obviously, i guess
they cannot see my video or ear my audio.
We after tried this: I connected to
the lobby venue at ANL and asked to one of my fellows to also connect to
it. We can see each other, our names appear into the VIC and RAT instances
but we don't receive/transmit audio/video from/to other users into the
venue.
I got one more error when connecting
to the AG3 lobby at ANL: one message raises up telling i'm not able to
connect to the venue, but suddenly I appear into the venue and VIC and
RAT are correctly loaded (of course I cannot receive audio/video from others,
except the one of my fellow).

After this, I guess there could be some
problem into our network/subnet configuration. Anyone could help?
Thank you in advance,
Faber B.
