Reading the documentation of the program used to establish that
connection (and probably contacting the vendor) would usually be the
first step. If that doesn't help, you could use a protocol analyzer like
Ethereal [1] to sniff the network traffic generated during the
connection attempts. Also read your firewall logs.
However, you're most likely creating a big hole in your firewall by
allowing a guest to estalish connections between your network and the
network of his company. I strongly advise against it. Or at least put
him into a separate network segment without access to your internal
network.
