I have worked on this for about a month now and have pulled about 40% of my
hair out. To the best of my knowledge I have everything set up correctly. I
have an office computer with XP Pro (2) and a home computer with XP Pro (2).
The home computer is on a wireless router which to the best of my knowledge
has the correct ports forwarded. The office computer has a router with two
other computers on it. I have those ports forwarded. I have tried both IP
addresses, the one that the router assigns and the true IP address. It never
goes through. I never get to see the connection page. It always says cannot
find page or something like that. It is killing me.

I like www.rethinkit.com for a simplified explanation .
It has proven helpful to me.

Try turning off your firewall and see if that helps. If you can
connect, then you need to open those ports on your firewall.
Just a simple thought
