So, to summarize, you have a direct connection, and they are behind NAT.

If you are using GnomeMeeting 1.2.1, they can call you, and your
GnomeMeeting should help the remote Netmeeting behind NAT to go through
that NAT without the need for any configuration.

If it doesn't work, then it is because the H.245 channel can not be
established due to Netmeeting being a bit "old". Myphone will be the
only possible replacement.

So, can you try with both Netmeeting and MyPhone behind NAT and report a
precise description of the problems in both cases here?

Thank you,
