Hi Pedro. I think that we both can talk in spanish but let me write in
english to let people to correct to me if im wrong.
There are some problems with microsoft pptp that maybe corrected with
the linux pptp. Loock for it in google.
For netmeeting and messenger you must open some ports. One solution is
to do DNAT to a specified internal address. This is a example:

# Neetmeeting ports:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 389 -i <interface> -j DNAT \
--to 192.168.0.20
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 522 -i <interface> -j DNAT \
--to 192.168.0.20
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1503 -i <interface> -j DNAT \
--to 192.168.0.20
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1720 -i <interface> -j DNAT \
--to 192.168.0.20
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 1731 -i <interface> -j DNAT \
--to 192.168.0.20

# Messenger ports:
iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport xxxxx -i <interface> -j DNAT \
--to 192.168.0.20

This corrects the problem for one user but the problem still when many
users wants to use netmeeting. Nowdays im loocking for a solution too.

Suerte.
