David, Ours is an enterprise set-up, so we can obviously do things that a home or small business user can't. So, for example, we have OM running in a VMware virtual machine. Using NAT and port forwarding in our firewall router, we're easily able to send OM meeting requests from out in the world. Anyway, ...
The 192.168.x.x addy on your XP box is known as a non-routable address; the outside world couldn't use it. Your ISP must have provided you with an external IP address. It might be static, but I suspect it's dynamic, in which case you may have a problem. But, in any case, you need to configure your router such that any incoming traffic on port 5080 (or whatever your OM is using) is routed to the machine on which OM runs.
