Conot connect to a remote router

Apparently I cannot telnet my router. Here is how I tried. On my desktop, I
enabled DMZ on both my linksys WRT54G wireless router and my Linksys BEFSX41
VPN router, which supposedly opens all the ports on both routers. On my
laptop I went to the command prompt and typed telnet 79.123.34.2, pressed
Enter and got no connection.

When I put both computers on the same network, I can ping my routher at
192.168.1.1 and my computer at 192.168.1.102.

You may just try to enable remote administration without enabling DMZ or
enable DMZ pointing to the router without enabling remote administration.
