Bellsouth Modem with PC Anywhere

I may have missed the search engine on this one but I cannot find exactly what I am looking for.  Here is my scenario:
I am using PC Anywhere 11.0 on 2 machines, Machine A and Machine B.  Machine A is sitting behind a Netgear router with the ports forwarded and open.  Machine B is sitting behind Bellsouth's Westell DSL Modem.  Machine B can use PC Anywhere to gain access to Machine A, but when I try to use Machine A behind the Netgear to gain access to Machine B sitting on Bellsouth's modem I get a connections error stating that it cannot connect.  I looked on Bellsouth's modem config to try to find ports to be opened but I was at a loss.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

If it is just a modem you cant open any ports.  Modems are just a bridge.  Unless it has an integrated router there will be no ports to open, and it will be like suicide leaving that machine on the internet without any protection.

Worked like a charm, thanks for your advice.
Glad you got it going.  It's always a nice feeling when this expensive hardware and software all works together.
