That does not sound right, the IP addr for the OSX box.  IPNR router
should be 192.168.1.1, but the OSX box should have a different IP, even if
it is the one running IPNR!  On my setup at work, the
box running IPNR has a real IP addr and IPNR has the 192.168.0.1 addr.  My
client Mac has addr 192.168.0.3 but I connect to the server (running IPNR)
using its real IP addr.  Disclaimer: I think.  I actually just connect
using Appletalk rather than IP sharing.

On my home setup, I have a syslink router (192.168.1.1) and my Macs can
connect using the other IP addr (ie the 192.168.1.103 Mac can connect to
the 192.168.1.105 Mac (and vice-versa).  Both can connect to ithe OSX
iMac (192.168.1.102) [the .10x numbers are symbolic because I am not sure
what IP addr each machine has at the moment.)  

With either setup, I can access one Mac on the LAN from outside WAN using
the real IP address of host machine or the cable modem.  But I never
connect to the server (192.168.x.1) except by browser to configure router.

Have you tried to connect using the localhost IP addr?  (I can't remember
for sure but I think it is 127.0.0.1 )

Good luck, and disregard my advice if you get your setup working ;-)
