    Only by connecting to it with a cable directly.

    SOHO routers in the main will not do reverse lookups and connections.

    One exception:

    If the router is capable of UPnP, enable UPnP on the router and on your XP client.
    (Be sure to allow a firewall exception for UPnP traffic)

    Then try viewing UPnP devices on the network through Network Places. (You want to Show icons for UPnP devices).

    You would have to change the listening Remote management port on the IO gear router to something unique and then forward that port in the Netgear router.

    note* assuming you have double NAT like you describe.
