error 10060 - going nuts

hi all,

I'm having a hard time trying to connect to a database using sql 200 or 2005.
this is the message I get:

-----------------------------
Cannot connect to mssql.mynetkeepers.ca,1434.
-----------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)

I believe that this is something related with my router/proxy at home, I use a Linksys wireless router.

I say that because I've tried to connect thru another network (work) and the connection goes fine with BOTH sql 2000 and 2005 (with the default parameters), and at home it just doesn't connect.

I've configured SQL 2005 to accept remote connections in the Surface Configuration Area but it doesn't work, also I'm not using any firewall (even windows).

please help!
thank you,
rodrigo.
