I'd like to thank everyone in advance who took out the time to reply to my question.

OK here we go now...

I have MJ 8.0 installed on my system. I have 2 computers at home connected to the net with ADSL. My WAN IP address is in the format of 206.211.XXX.XXX. The internal LAN starts from 192.168.1.0. I am using Linksys BFSR41 so to summarize all
Linksys Internet Gateway = 192.168.1.1
WIN2KSERVER=192.168.1.2
WIN2KPRO=192.168.1.5

On my LINKSYS Port fowarding page i'm using MJ on port 21080>TCP>ENABLE. I am running MJ on my WIN2KSERVER with Media Server Running on Port 21080.

I was able to connect to my Media Server running on WIN2KSERVER using my public IP address. So using my WIN2KPRO comp i started MJ went to Media Server>Connect>209.211.XXX.XXX:21080. It worked PERFECTLY BUT when my friend tries to do the same thing from his home it doesn't work. Would nebody know why that is that i'm able to connect to MEDIA SERVER using my Public IP Address from my WIN2KPRO comp (at my house) but when my friend does the exact same thing it doesn't work?

Much Thanx to everyone for replying.

Hi Rishi,

Lots of things can happen:
You are running a firewall (yes, the linksys does this).
Your ISP blocks incoming connections (do file sharing or instant messenger type programs work?). Check your service contract. Call and ask if you can run a web server.
