Oh. Sorry. Thought you were in one LAN with them. How about this: Gnomemeeting-Opal ( beta-version of Gnomemeeting 1.3 ) supports SIP. You can use an SIP-Client like X-Lite along with a free SIP-Provider ( example: www.freeworlddialup.com ) on the Windows hosts. X-Lite woks with STUN, that allows you to pass the NAT. For calls inside the LAN you use the LAN-IP. GM-Opal works very well. The only major problem is, that the iLBC-Codec is currently broken.
