Most installations of GP4 will not require any additional configuration beyond entering and validating the account information for a host account.

There are situations however where additional steps may be required to allow GatherPlace to communicate to our servers in order to host sessions or participate in VoIP calls.

Some of these situations occur if you are behind a corporate firewall or have a home firewall, content filter or virus scanner and receive error messages such as 'Could not connect to web server' or 'Voice features disabled because UDP Traffic appears to be blocked'.

In those cases you will need the information below to configure the firewall, content filter or virus scanner to allow the connections to be made between your computer and the GatherPlace servers.

We will strive to minimize changes to the addresses listed below, however infrastructure changes may force us to change them.  We will do our best to keep this chart as current as possible, and when we can include notice of upcoming changes.

For corporate locations please contact your IT staff to make the settings.
For home users please see the operating manuals, online help or contact the software manufacturer's support center for help in configuring the firewall, content filter or virus scanner.
