Netmeeting uses h.323 wich was apparently designed
by people with no concern whatsoever for firewall and
security issues.
It's a royal pain in the arse to get Netmeeting, or any h.323
product, to work properly thru a firewall.
Last time I had to do this, on Linux no less. you had to
use a special proxy module for ipchains that didnt even
work that well.
All I can say is, search google for h.323 and firewalls. It should
at least give you some pointers and port numbers.
