SYMPTOMS
When you start a Microsoft Office Live Meeting server, you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:

Error opening Server Socket



CAUSE
This issue occurs if the Live Meeting server communicates through a network address translation (NAT) firewall or through a network computer that provides NAT services.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, configure your network so that the Live Meeting server does not communicate through a NAT firewall or through a network computer that provides NAT services.

If you receive this error message when your network is configured so that the Live Meeting server does not communicate through a NAT firewall or through a network computer that provides NAT services, verify that the routers and the Domain Name System (DNS) servers are updated with the information for the Live Meeting server.



MORE INFORMATION
NAT is supported for Live Meeting clients.
