Greetings Luke,

Messenger uses Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) to establish voice/video connections across
NATs (what your Windows 2000 Server is doing to "share" internet access with the client PCs
on your network). Unfortunately, the Windows 2000 Server NAT does not support UPnP, so this
won't work.

However, you might be able to use Messenger voice/video by using ENat for Messenger on the
client PC:
