That would be normal for any pc behind any router.

If your router is configured to forward tcp 1503 to your machine ( or you
are using the dmz feature) - you can be called by using the public/WAN IP
address of the router as the calling address. To accurately determine your
current WAN IP you would look in one of the router configuration panels
(generally accessible via http://192.168.x.x -- in internal IP address of
the router -- exactly where to look is router specific but is often on the
initial display page)

I am not sure what "enabling netmeeting under the virtual serving settings"
means in the context of your router.

You determine the address to call other than locally (unless they are
calling your from your internal network). Using the router configuration
information is the recommended strategy,
