For the same reason why using Windows might create probs? ;-)

Because it is outgoing traffic for him, outgoing traffic is rarely
firewalled, people usually only filter incoming traffic. The problem is
probably that his netmeeting doesn't receive any data from you, thus it
disconnects.
If it doesn't receive any data from you, either the data doesn't leave
your computer, or the data is dropped on his side.

Why not? Isn't it the purpose of firewalls to filter connections and to
accept some of them and reject others ?
