Similar but different.  Netmeeting is point to point.  SharedView
appears to communicate through Microsoft servers on ports 80 and 443 so
firewalls should not be a problem.  In netmeeting you have an optional
ILS server which is basically just a list of names and IP addresses.
Sharedview requires you to login to a "passport" type of login and then
you can easily send an email to the other end which has a URL with the
session name and password embedded (they just need to click the link and
you need to accept).

  Sounds like NetMeeting all over again.
