The venue server will work fine with dynamic multicast addresses.
There is a problem with the bridgeserver in that it wants the venue
server to use static addresses. That problem will be addressed in the
next release.<br>
<br>
Was it experience or documentation that led you to believe you had to
use static addressing? If experience, it may be a bug in the
software. If documentation, it's a bug in ours docs. <br>
<br>
Please let me know.<br>

<pre wrap="">Thanks! I also don't understand why I have to choose the static port
option to get the venue server to work ( even when not using a bridge ).
Is that the way it is designed?
Thanks again,
Nate

<pre wrap=""><!---->Hi Nathan:
The current version of the bridge server does choose ports randomly.
The next version will allow the ports to be configured, to be more
friendly to admins with firewall concerns. If you're interested, when
it's usable in cvs, I can give you the info you need to try it.
As for the venue server, the default ports it uses are 8000, 8002,
8004,
and 8006.
You might also refer to this document about firewalls and the AG:
