I don't know which models are those numbers reffering to. I have a 
Vesta Pro Scan, and Rafaël has a ToUcam Pro; and I can tell you
that the colours are perfect! (look at the screenshots on gnomemeeting.org).
Perhaps is it a settings problem ?!?

I never installed such a thing, but my idea is to :
1- Install the newnat modules (see the FAQ)
2- Always enable H.245 Tunneling
3- Forward incoming connections on port 1720 from the firewall to your machine.

Another solution is to install openmcu on your firewall, and connect to it with
GM from the inside of your network. People will connect to it too. 

Never forget to enable TCP port 1720 and UDP ports 5000 and 5001 on your firewall.

I think that it has nothing to do with USB but that it is a problem with
your network card driver. I never experienced that problem on my DUAL PIII.

Merry christmas :))
