 I believe if you search the archives the answer is:  It just won't work.

 Microsoft handles the tcp/ip packets in their own unique way that isn't
compatible with the -nat in FreeBSD.

 I used Netmeeting successfully behind a Windoze box running SyGate but
when I switched over to FreeBSD that wasa the end of that.

 I'm also under the impression the same applies with Linux (Netmeeting
won't work behind nat/firewall).
