[P1] Virtual Network Computing

[Scott Warren]

which linksys rouer is it?
Latest firmware?
Set for DMZ?
some linksys routers will only passthru port 1, are you in the 1st 
ethernet port (assuming hub)
Is she also behind a router? (guessing no)

Saw some suggestions here:

When troubleshooting an IRC issue with file transfers, I disovered I 
could receive but not send files.  The odd thing was when I say send, 
my computer sends a signal to the other computer and the other computer 
actually initiates the transfer, thus it sees my computer based on the 
router ip (66.225.##.##) and not as my computer IP (192.168.1.2) so the 
connection was not made.  When they tried to send, the signal would 
come thru to my client and it would connect with their system and send 
the file.  I just found it odd that the transfers were initiated by 
what I thought was the opposite computer.  Maybe this is the same 
issue.
