Hi Vincent,

A couple of things. First, do you have public node numbers for both nodes? 
If not, the easiest solution is to get a second public node number and 
install on your second node.

Second, if your node is on a private IP address, do you have in-bound port
forwarding setup on the node you're trying to connect to?  If not, the
default port used is UDP port 4569. Out-bound connection don't need port 
forwarding (hence why you can connect outbound). In-bound does need 
forwarding.

Thats usually about all that's typically needed.
