No, but thanks for the suggestion because that got me thinking. Maybe 
there was something that was blocking the required ports. And when I 
checked, sure enough, gnomemeeting tries to use the same ports as does 
OpenVPN:

2004/03/22 14:34:26.968   6:10.741          H225 Answer:8341f18 RTP_UDP 
SetRemoteSocketInfo: session=1 data channel, new=128.112.24.88:5002, 
local=140.180.162.204:5000-5001, remote=128.112.24.88:5002-5003

OpenVPN uses port 5000 as default, and port above 5000 for each client 
connection. I shut down OpenVPN and the connection went through smoothly.

Is it possible to instruct GM to use other ports (preferrably, high 
above in the 5-digits range)? I have a fairly extensive OpenVPN 
installation, and the port numbers are hardcoded in every user's config 
file (which would have to be changed manually). I see Netmeeting uses 
ports in ~49000 range for the h323 connection. Is there a way to make 
gnomemeeting use similar ports (it's not a problem for me to recompile 
it, if that's what it takes).
