If neither of you are behind a NAT, does it work then? I'm told the problems I've had with it were because I don't have any port-forwarding setup on my router...not that I expect anyone but a networking geek to have any idea how to do that, so informing people that they need to setup port forwarding will likely result in most users going "do what? i don't know what that is! where's skype?" anyway... -- Mackenzie Morgan http://ubuntulinuxtipstricks.blogspot.com apt-get moo
