You'll have to allow a fairly large UDP port range (the exact range presently escapes me - 10000 to 60000 maybe?) but that's the default isn't it? > > If you have a NAT or proxy setup you'll likely not have much luck with NetMeeting. Especially not if you want to send video. Right. NetMeeting and other H.323 programs don't like NAT, and there weren't any free proxy programs that worked with NetMeeting/Intel Internet Phone back when I searched for one (about a year ago). I did however find a program called PhonePatch, which is commercial ($50) but with a free one-month trial period. It's available as a native FreeBSD binary and it worked for me (for the short period I used it). You just tell your voice-/video-conferencing program that you have an H.323 proxy and enter the proper IP and port for your PhonePatch system.
