Dear Sirs,

Been having a heck of a time connecting to my home
computer from work. I have xp pro on my laptop at work.
My Pc at home xp pro also, is on a network with a
Linksys 5 port router. I have my sons computer also on
the network.
The Wan address is 68.43.94.70. I cannot even ping from
the office and a trace route goes thru about 5 hops and
gives a final message of: 192.168.196.3 reports
destination host unreachable. I have Remotely Anywhere
Software listening on a certain port and I have the port
forwarding on the router set to forward requests to my
machines IP. Still does not work...most people in the
outside World can ping my Wan address. I can also us
remotely anywhere to connect to my brothers PC for Remote
Control..from my PC at home. Not sure where the hang up
is. I have firewalls turned off. Any direction or leads
would be greatful to me. I have been battleing this one
for quite some time. If I have left anything out please
let me know or email me at domain01@comcast.net. Thank
you for your time here today. Have a good one!!!

Joe
