We've got a machine running Windows XP Home (I know, it's home, our bad) but it's having a problem allowing access for TCP/IP traffic on port 3002. We are all on the same network just in different locations. We have the router set to have that port open and when you're in the same building it connects fine. However, when we try to access this from another location, still within the same network, it just won't connect. We are able to send traffic and receive traffic on that port from other locations, but not on this one machine.

Any ideas? Please help!

Also ... we can send tcp traffict to the machine, we watch our Juniper router and it is successful, however, it does not respond to the request and does not send anything back. Also, we can access the box in other ways, just not through TCP...unless you are within the physical building.

Are they point to point T1's, frame relay, MPLS---how are they on the same network?

Does this machine handle a local firewall, XP service pack 2 does block a lot of incomming traffic, if not manualy ok-ed
