Can one of the computers not be nat'd? Seems like that helps things...
when we did ubuntu open week, we had a public conferencing server set up
that any one could sip into. Video was disabled, but I think it could
have been on. I and most people were behind nat'd firewalls and it
worked just fine as far as I could tell. I don't think the conferencing
server was anywhere remotely close to the other action... It worked like
a big conference call with most people's mic's muted.

When I say "public" and "anyone" what I mean is, anyone who wanted to
could ping the sysadmins and request a username/password.

We also had gobby, which is pretty cool. Check it out if you've not used
it yet.
