I'm resending this without the attachment, I got a message saying the attachment was too big. It was a screen shot of my router page.

When I am at my customer's site, if I realize that I need to add a new machine to the echoserver (which is running back at my home office), I can either a) just VNC in directly to the machine that is running the echoserver - it's behind a Linksys router/firewall, so I have port forwarding to the echoserver machine on port 5900 enabled. or b)just use echovnc to connect directly to the machine that is running the echoserver. Remember, as discussed in previous posts on here, running an echovnc client on the same machine that runs the echoserver is not a problem at all. In theory, if you do this you don't need the port forwarding on the router at all.. I just do the port forwarding as a backup in case I have a problem with the echovnc connection, since I am pretty new to it and just getting used to it. The echoserver machine is running on a static private IP - so I in case it reboots it doesn't change. I don't know what router you are using, but since linksys is so common here's a file attachment with a screen shot of my linksys port forwarding page, maybe it will help. Also, as far as trying to connect to the IP address of the router - unless you have the port forwarding enabled to a specific machine, you won't connect to that machine. If you do want to get to the router itself, directly, most routers have remote management capabilities. In the linksys, you just set it to have remote management enabled and use the public ip of the router and append the public IP address with port 8080 eg. 68.39.7.20:8080, then you can manage the router from wherever you are. Scott: I think I understand his question and implementation, and hopefully this helps, if I said anything inaccurate please let us know.. don't want to confuse anyone.

They both are connected to a router, which connects to the Internet. I can connect to EchoServer using my laptop, another Echoclient, in the office. however, I am unable to connect to EchoSever from home. I tried to connect to the IP address of router with no avail. Do any of you have this kind of problem before? any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!

The firewall/router you have at work is designed to block "incoming" connections. So for the same reason you can't VNC directly to your work PC's, you can't make an connection to an echoServer running on one of your work PC's. The easiest solution is to run your echoServer somewhere where you can connect to it easily from both home and work. Or, alternatively, use a friend's echoServer who has their's running on a "public IP". If you only have home or work networks to choose from, and hey both have firewall/routers, you'll need to make some port-forwarding adjustments. You can learn those details here: http://www.portforward.com/ http://faq.gotomyvnc.com/fom-serve/cache/63.html That 2nd one is about VNC, but the ideas are the same. As you probably know, by default, echoServer uses TCP port 1328 for connections, but you can change that to anything you want in the main GUI. Hope that helps! -Scott PS: Of course...once you *are* connected to the echoServer, all of your EchoVNC connections will work without any more port-forwarding adjustments necessary.
