Re: [MLUG - DISCUSSION] making connection despite cable modem and Linksys router

["George B. Robb III" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

By chance did the default firewall that windows ships with block your 
ping requests?
Think it is a right click on network places... right click on a network 
connection...  advanced and then shut the darn firewall off :)

Also your PC can hit the outside world?  And are you trying to VNC into 
your box from inside our outside of your router?

hope this helps,

George
