Wez, Thanks for your reply. I have not enabled the windows firewall on host B.
Let me give you more background on this setup. Both PC's are in the same room at the moment. "B" is about To be delivered to a retail shop. During testing, I first had both PC's connected to the same switch. Ran viewer on "A" and was able to connect to and run "B" with no problem. Next I disconnected "B" from the switch and invoked its DUN connection to the ISP. (This is how I'll have to really connect to "B") I got "B" 's IP address, turned to "A" and pinged "B" successfully. Then I tried to run the viewer from "A" to "B". Result: timeout. Since I can connect when "A" and "B" are on the same network, that would indicate that it's not a firewall problem.
