That entirely depends on what options you choose in netmeeting. The
standard desktop sharing is on a known port, however I believe the audio
and video components are on randomly negotiated ports once the meeting
begins. The best way to get it going is to have people vpn into the
network that is hosting the netmeeting.

You may consider moving to an alternate solution. Lately I've been
looking at http://www.bigbluebutton.org/home
