Many modern Cable/DSL modems that connect over ethernet have built in firewall/routers. You should make sure that isn't the case here. Just look up the gateway IP on your parents computer and see if it has a web interface.

I am trying to use VNC to support my parent's computer in FL from TX. I have a Cable modem and am behind a router firewall. My parents have a DSL and do not have any router on there end. I am running VNCserver on there PC (Windows XP). When I attempt to log on it does not find the remote host. The IP address that my parents see is 192.168.x.xx. This makes me think they are behind a router, but I know for a fact they are not, but not sure if DSL modem is providing this IP address. Either way I can connect to them. However I can have them log on my work network and I log on to my work network and the IP address that now shows when you mouse over the VNC icon in the system tray I can use. With that IP address I can manage there computer, but not without it. So after all that background my question is how can I log on there machine without both of us having to log on to my work network. Thank you for you help. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
