OK, first question is - can you confirm that you have a public IP address?
If it starts with 10.,127., 192., or 169., it is not public. Second - if it is not one of the above, try a ping to the server address: ping 1.2.3.4 or whatever the server IP is. See if you get a response. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ferruh Unlu" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, 2002-04-26 21:51 Subject: RE: dialups > I thought there was firewall, but there is no firewall > on the other side.
