A little more info will be needed to answer this one.
Go to the file sharing preference pane of the machine you are trying to
connect to and look at the IP number it lists. If it starts with 192
(as in 192.xxx.xxx.xxx) or in 10 (as in 10.xxx.xxx.xxx) then you are
living behind a router with NAT turned on. Your router will have to be
set to forward requests for port 548 to your machine in order for this
to work.
If, on the other hand, your IP number starts out like, oh say,
205.xxx.xxx.xxx then there is something else going on.
