On her Zyxel router/modem I forwarded these ports to her computer:

Start port	End port	IP Address
All ports 	All ports	192.168.1.33	(for ultravnc)
5000		5100		192.168.1.33	ekiga,if NAT test reports"symmetric NAT" reports and
							no Linux then forward 5000-5100 udp ports
1720		1720		192.168.1.33	ekiga,H.323, to be reachable from the outside
30000	30010	192.168.1.33	ekiga, if you want calls with Netmeeting users

The first line states that all ports should be forwarded to her computer. So I 
guess the next lines are not necessary.
