The linksys router has some peculiarites.  I've found that often times to
have a total connection I have to set the machine outside the linksys
firewall.  That doesn't worry me since I don't include the linksys firewall
in my security plan, anyway.  To get one machine (linksys allows only one)
outside it's firewall you need to look at the linksys advanced setting for
DMZ and follow that route.

I don't understand firewalls etc. but they do seem to figure in the picture
here. When working from my home office via a DSL connection (and LinkSys
router) I can get autostart servers to work just fine. STRCODE will not
work unless I open port 4200 on the firewall in the router. I have made the
assumption (which seems to be born out by experiments that I and others have
made) that at least the LinkSys unit will allow inbound messages to a port
if that port (4200) initiated the conversation. What it will not do is
accept incoming traffic on that port unless it is unlocked.

This has been my experience anyway - does it match yours?
