asterisk users - Nov 2003 - Assignement of extension to Netmeeting with dynamic IP address

Hello everybody,

I wonder if anyone can help me in something I am trying to do but have
no clue on how to do it:

I have an Asterisk installation and I would like to be able to assign
certain extensions to people with NetMeetings that take dynamic IP
address.

Does any one know how I can get the IP of an incoming channel in order
to be able to dial back to that channel after the call is hangup? 

Does registering with a gatekeeper has anything to do with this?

Any clues welcome  

Thanks,
Anna

Registering with a gatekeeper is a MUST in this case...

When your netmeeting is started , it is registred in the gatekeeper with a
number (let's say 1234)..

Now , when you call form * 1234 , the gatekeeper routes you to the
netmeeting's IP.

Dynamic IP's are a big problem with Netmeeting when you do authentification
& authorization , but i don't think that you use that...


Hope this helps..


Regards
    Alex

You, certainly, don't want to do something like that.

Yeap, that's the right solution. Just instruct all Netmeeting users
to register with a gatekeeper. Each user will register with a unique
number/ID, known to you. You can use these numbers/IDs to connect
extenion numbers with real IP phones (in extensions.conf).
