Can you give a little more info about the network setup. If it is indeed
NAT'd behind the firewall then you should still be able to connect if you
are on the same side of that firewall. Usually it's a 192.168.x.x or
10.0.x.x address. You'll need the same subnet mask. If it's NAT'd behind a
router and you're on a different segment than you have to enable
portforwarding on the box that is doing the NAT'ing. Otherwise you won't
be able to see it. 
HTH,
Harry
