How do you determine whether they can "see each other"? JXTA Discovery 
is not a suitable way to enumerate the peers connected to the network as 
it is not intended to provide exhaustive results. Did you try searching 
for the specific peer and/or attempt to connect to the peer?

This may be the same problem as the peer search. Were you searching for 
the specific pipe advertisement or searching for all pipe advertisements 
and assuming that the pipe advertisement one of your peers created would 
be in the result returned?
