sounds right, if that doesn't work i'd suggest the shotgun approach, i.e. delete all the tcp/ip and remote access prefs and start over manually resetting them, it could be a corruption issue, also of course double check those settings when you do reenter them. you might also delete the remote access log, i seem to remember having problems when mine got very, very large once. if you are behind a firewall then ryan's advice is doubtless correct.
