Could you give us some help on how to get that working (specifically a video call).

I've set up a SIP account with linphone on my n900 and it connects no problem. I then tried creating another account and registered it with their Windows client. I could not get them to call each other though.

First things coming to my mind are
Windows firewall
router settings
port forwarding
...

Some mobile networks filter out SIP since they want you to use the mobile phone calls/video instead. Check with your mobile provider to know if they allow SIP or not.

I'm only talking about over wifi for the moment. But for the record I know I can make SIP voice calls over my 3G provider no problem.

The fact that the Windows Linphone client successfully registers my account would rule those things out, wouldn't it?

Well, I've registered two Linphone accounts just so that I could try calling from one to the other. With the Windows client I'm simply trying to dial the 'username' of the other account (registered on the n900). It usually says the 'user is temporarily unavailable' and aborts.
