I don't know why, but it was that way. I repeatedly (in
a time span of two days) called [EMAIL PROTECTED] from behind the NAT,
and it always worked. When I returned home, the remote end from behind
the NAT tried to call me, and it did not work (I could hear them but they
could not hear me). I don't even know what kind of NAT gateway their ISP
uses, but looking at the reverse DNS it seems that they probably use a pool
of NAT servers or a pool of public IP addresses. Maybe the traffic
for a different IP addr goes through a different part of the NAT cluster?

: Yes, that one is very correct. That feature was present in GnomeMeeting.

: Could you please post a bug report about it on bugzilla.gnome.org ?
Done, http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=438297
