Yes, it should work fine. However, for Webcam/File Transfer features -- if both sides are
"blocked" (either by non-UPnP enabled routers, firewalls or otherwise), these functions will
use a relay server instead of making a direct connection. As such, if a relay server has to
be used, performance of these functions will not be that great. Using the Video
Conference/Audio Conversation features will automatically open the necessary ports in the ICF
(XP firewall) automatically however, so those functions will not be affected.
