Is the slowness/timeout only with B->A, or does it also happen with
<some other machine>->A? If it also happens with some other machine,
then it's specific to A incoming, not B->A.

Do they have the same firewalls? Is either machine's incoming or
outgoing firewall slowing the connection?

Do their internet connections have different upload/download speeds or
qualities? For example A->B uses A's upload speed and B's download
speed, whereas B->A uses A's download and B's upload.

I assume by A->B you mean A->internet->B, right?
