Trying to connect to dial-up PC from DSL PC

[James Weatherall]

Greg,

It's possible that the firewall settings for the dial-up connection differ
from those for the LAN, such that connections within the LAN work, while
connections via the dial-up won't.  It's also possible that the ISP is doing
some firewalling of their own.

Regards,
