Yeah, I contacted my ISP and searched a few webpages. What I found out was that my SS5200 was set to bridge mode, and that would make it hard to reach my computer. I updated the firmware, setting it to router, and enabling a port forwarding for VNC's ports, and now everything works. Thanks for the help

When you try to connect from the Viewer to your Server, what IP address are you using? Unless you're running a dynamic DNS client (like www.noip.com's), it can be tricky to know what IP address your ISP has given you, especially with DSL (with some ISPs, your external IP address, the one you'd have to point a VNC Viewer to, could change several times a day). To test your Speedstream, though, try this: startup a web-browser on your VNC Server, and point it to www.GoToMyVNC.com and run the scan there. If it can connect, then a Viewer should be able to as well. good luck.
