OK. I find the part concerning "browsing settings". May be I should modify Browsing from On to Off (I didn't have enough time at the moment to carefully read the comments and to see what else changes I must do). Besides, I know the IP of the remote machine but not the guy. I'll see later if I will take contact with him.

Thanks Jerome
