Actually, that is normal. You're both on private subnets and behind routers/firewalls. You need to make sure that the port that you are trying to connect on is open on both firewalls and routed to the proper machines. You also need to be connecting to the internet address (i.e. router address) for the machines and not the local address for the machines (i.e. 192.168.1.100 and 192.168.0.101) If you don't know the internet address for the machines then the first thing to do is to figure out what it is which can be done by simply visiting www.ipaddress.com from the machine you are trying to connect to. Once you know the internet address for the machines then just try connecting to the other machine via its internet IP Address. If that doesn't work then the machine you are attempting to connect to is behind a firewall and you will need to figure out how to get the the port that you are trying to connect on opened up and forwarded to the machine.
