Do you have port forwarding set up for either the HH or the Netgear?? What model is the Netgear (have a look underneath)?

Do you run in wireless mode?

If you are running two routers, could be a conflict with two NAT devices in a row. NAT has a firewalling 'effect', though is not like a normal software firewall. NAT blocks out incoming ports except those normally used for browsing such as port 80.
