If your router works with netmeeting it has to support the
h.323-protocol. If your router supports h.323 it also supports
GnomeMeeting. Thus forwarding port 1720 (tcp) to your workstation should
be enough.

Besides the gateway/firewall doesn't need a h.323-modul since GM 0.94
anymore because GnomeMeeting uses IP Translation. This means you only
have to forward some ports to your WS, that's enough!
