Anything relying on IP is handled by ipfw and natd, as far as I can tell. I *think* I've seen streaming media come through, at least in the form of RealAudio. I don't really give a rat's ass what happens to Windows Media streams. My setup was not designed to be Windows friendly! I don't know about Netmeeting, I've never used it. Given my ruleset, you would have to initiate every connection, or ipfw would just dump the packets. But as far as the world is concerned, every computer on the network shares the same IP address: the address the firewall presents to the outside world. To get Netmeeting working properly, I imagine two things would be required: 1) Explicitly allow all connections to and from the Netmeeting ports. 2) Configure natd to forward all attempted connections on those ports to the Windows machine you wish to use. Note that rule #2 means only 1 computer can accept outside connections to Netmeeting ports (connections initiated inside the network are handled separately, and are not a concern).
