It's there..  Been there from the beginning..

This I know already, they are different subnets.  One is 24.112.124.xxx, 
the other is 24.113.62.xxx.

I've noticed the Linux box was sending requests to 24.113.63.255 and the 
firewall on the Win98 box has been trapping netbios to/from 
24.112.125.255.  I tried adding new rules to allow that IP, but it doesn't 
seem to work.  Maybe it's the firewall program itself, but even with the 
firewall completely disabled, still nothing happens.  Maybe @Home does 
filter them..

If they do filter, is there any way I could get around this?  It would be a 
lot easier to use file shares rather than FTPing back and forth.  Or am I 
out of luck and will have to wait till I replace Win98 with Linux then make 
use of NFS?
