If neither of you are behind a NAT, does it work then?  I'm told the problems 
I've had with it were because I don't have any port-forwarding setup on my 
router...not that I expect anyone but a networking geek to have any idea how 
to do that, so informing people that they need to setup port forwarding will 
likely result in most users going "do what? i don't know what that is! where's 
skype?" anyway...
