You shouldn't need to "open" ports for most well behaved client programs. Generally, your firewall should know what connections have been established by clients behind it, and allow the corresponding return packets back in. What kind of hardware are you using?

I'm not sure about netmeeting, but you should not need to open ports to handle simple *client-side* tasks like web browsing and IM with the hardware you are using.

AOL intstant messanger cannot send files from a user behind a firewall to another user behind a firewall. But you should be able to send a file to a user that is not behind a firewall.
