Do you have both IP addresses registed as the same host name ?
I have the same setup (except ppp instead of slip) and I can "talk"
normally both to my lan and to remote sites. Incoming and outgoing.
The "invitation" message does come up occasionally, but usually
resolves in a few seconds...
The only problems happen when router-filters and firewalls know about my
real (local) address and not about my gateway(ppp) address.
Unfortunately, I have not found a solution to that one.
