Thank you Jerry and Lee. Yes, Jerry, the IP address begins with 192 and there is a router in our office (for the DSL). How do I set the router to forward requests to port 548, pray tell? Is this something I can do or does the DSL provider do it?
Lee, I don?t even get the dialogue box for name and password. I jump off that bridge when I get to it. By the way, that (remote) machine is still running OS 9 (my last holdout of my 5 Macs because I can?t find a decent native X time and billing program; someday I?ll just bite the bullet and run Classic under X or lose all my historical data and start over with MYOB or the like). :-0 Robert Date: Tue, 9 Dec 2003 18:43:21 -0500 From: Jerry Yeager <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: MacGroup: Remote Access A little more info will be needed to answer this one. Go to the file sharing preference pane of the machine you are trying to connect to and look at the IP number it lists. If it starts with 192 (as in 192.xxx.xxx.xxx) or in 10 (as in 10.xxx.xxx.xxx) then you are living behind a router with NAT turned on. Your router will have to be set to forward requests for port 548 to your machine in order for this to work. If, on the other hand, your IP number starts out like, oh say, 205.xxx.xxx.xxx then there is something else going on. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
