Either or both machines behind an internet router? Some sort of NAT device?
Like a netgear, linksys, dlink, etc? Something that allows one to use a
single internet connection with multiple computers because it gives out
private IP addresses like 192.168.x.x - thus acting like a network
translation/dhcp server device and which may be blocking your attempt to
connect?
