Ok, long story short, I have a linux box behind a linksysnr401(?) little
routerbox thing... if my friend (or my work) try to connect, it always
times out... but if he removes his router it works fine. Is it my
router, is it something to do with how my *COUGH*redhat9*COUGH* is
interpreting the traffic? When he is behind his DLink router (same as
mine at work) it sends the request to the linuxbox (properly port
forwarded in the routerconfig) I see his real ip 192.168.0.5 and it
stalls after just a few packets. But when he isnt behind his firewall,
it works fine.

Thanks in advance,
Matt
