I thought it would be possible to forward Netmeeting's Remote Desktop
1503 port like I forward VNC's 5901 port so that I could access my home
desktop remotely, however when I try the following command, the port
seems to forward okay, but I can't get Netmeeting to place the call.

ssh -N -f -l username -L 1503:homeip:1503 homeip

Then when I start Netmeeting, I get the message "Netmeeting could not
start. Please restart your computer and try again."

Any ideas on why this is?
