the reason is that you are behind a firewall that does
not let you connect to the ip addresses of other
computers and share information.
to disable this firewall security,type the following
commands after you have entered your router's
interface in hyperterminal
>enable password
>hostname
>configure terminal
>disable firewall
>sh ip address
this will allow you to access all files
mail me for more info

I am having the same problem with the Linksys rounter, but my rounter does not have a firewall. My rounter uses NAT to block internal ip out to public, so I can not direct connect with anyone on AIM. (but I am able to accept a request for direct connect) Help thanks
