My earlier comments were based on the apparently mistaken assumption that you 
were using the built-in peer networking.  If you are using Lantastic, all 
bets are off, and I have no idea how to fix your problem.  I would seriously 
consider ripping Lantastic out of there completely and using the built-in 
networking that now comes included with every major operating system.
