What traffic are you letting in? Are you forwarding the appropriate ports to the XP box from the firewall? I believe that the whiteboard/desktop sharing stuff uses the netmeeting ports. You will have to allow that traffic in through your firewall. Audio should work ok, but video conferncing uses netmeeting. Audio and Video in Netmeeting is pretty tricky to get through a BSD firewall because it uses an upper port range. You need an H323 proxy. I believe there is a port for BSD for this.
