Is Netmeeting a peer to peer tool or do we need to be running a server?
Also, what ports need to be open on a firewall in order to allow netmeeting
access?

Calls are normally peer to peer ( but can be via an MCU/server ). You need
some sort of mechanism though for determining the call address for
initiating the call. There are a number of strategies available (

It depends on what you want to do and what kind of firewall you are running.
If you are running a NAT firewall as is normally the case data only calls
require only tcp 1503 -- audio/video calls require tcp 1720 and a run time
negotiated list of udp ports.

To have outgoing audio/video calls generally requires an H.323 gateway/proxy
working with the NAT. To have incoming audio/video calls an H.323
gatekeeper working with the gateway and NAT will be required. Incoming data
calls are possible to one station if tcp 1503 is forwarded.

If the firewall is a soho router/gateway then one station can be provided
outgoing calling and incoming calling capability by using the dmz feature of
the router.
