Then it must be using some form of port forwarding. All you need to know is 
the port, the IP and any protocols. Even more simple, the other machine must 
be behind some form of firewall. Knowing your network system is not too hard 
and is the key. There are only a few ways to deal with this. Probably it is 
making a request on a specific port that automatically forwards it.

I don't use FP, but as long as the technique is built on standard networking 
(and MS had to use BSD TCP/IP because they couldn't even write a stack that 
wouldn't degenerate) then it is just a matter of knowing what is being done. 
Linux networking is much more flexible and I don't know of anything being 
done on Windows that cannot be interfaced on Linux.

This isn't a Quanta issue. This is a network configuration issue. When someone 
using FP and/or your configuration setup tells us what is being done we will 
be able to give a quicker answer. If nothing else you can run port scanning 
software to find out what is open.
