This type of router is usually also configurable as firewall/port filter. After all, if you installed it mainly for security purposes THAT's what you activated.
Now NetMeeting (using RDP) and LapLink (using a propietary protocol) do need specific IP or UDP ports to be opened throughout the connection, so also on the linksys. Better find out which ports they require, and then how to enable them on the linksys without comprosing security too much...

Hope this helps,
