The thing was that I was not going to uninstall Trillian Pro and move to other IM client. I might do it though in the near future, maybe after October 1st. Pidgin seems a good candidate, indeed, since my desire is to have a client that combines many IM protocols.

Secondly, yes, as far as I know when both users access the Internet over NAT, it doesn't work - NAT is a horrible thing that destroys the pretty TCP/IP stack of protocols => the good news is that IPv6 (when every computer and router in the Internet will be compatible with it) will destroy NAT => there's a God fighting for the Internet, thank you!
In the case I described in my post, one might overcome the problems that NAT creates either by using port forwarding (and that requires one to access the NAT box in order to configure it to do port forwarding to one's computer) or by using a third party server with a public address (the IM-owner-company-of-that-protocol, i.e. Yahoo, should do it, I think, in order to overcome the situation when both users behind the NAT wish to transfer files between them using it's IM protocol).
