Are you sure that you don't have too much packets loss (see statistics)
and that the DMZ is properly configured.

Having the remote video that never came to the main window but came to a
separate window doesn't make much sense...

A misconfigured router I would guess. The best to do in that case is to
run gnomemeeting with --debug=3 and to have a look at the output to
determine why the remote video stops.

Having a look at the FAQ can also help for interaction problems with
Netmeeting (the magic word is MS-GSM :) )
