Comment:

 There is no proxy being used in any of the cases (note the `Connecting to
 ******:5298 with no proxy`).

 The log uses the prefix "proxy:" just because of how the code is
 structured, it doesn't mean that a proxy is actually being used.

 If it were, then it would explain the situation, but that simply isn't the
 case.

 You can test this yourself by doing the following using your wireless
 connection:
  1. Log in to your Bonjour account on "vadim at ASUS-M51TA" (192.168.1.30)
  2. From MSI at MSI-S271 (192.168.1.51), open up a cmd prompt and run:
 {{{
   telnet 192.168.1.30 5298
 }}}
  3. Notice in the debug log of  "vadim at ASUS-M51TA" that the connection
 isn't coming from 192.168.1.51 as it would be expected to.

 It isn't a problem of the machines not being able to "see" each other -
 the connections are clearly occurring, it just that something about your
 wireless network configuration is masking where connections are actually
 coming from and making it seem like they're coming from the router instead
 of the actual source machine on the network.
