Mark, You may need to configure you WESTELL modems NAT forwarding. My Wirespeed (A)DSL modem is from BellSouth, so the menus are custom, but I have to enter expert mode and then Configure/NAT. VNC is in the pulldown; when you enable it, the modem will ask which device (on the local net) you want the traffic forwarded-to.
The modems automatically bit-bucket any unsolicited inbound traffic Hope this helps. Paul Putkowski From: "Mark Lent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: New to VNC and need help... Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 15:07:54 -0600 Hi all, Of course I need help, why would I be writing otherwise, huh? Let me explain my situation: I've been away from networking for some time now- last server I worked on was a WinNT and now, I've been sortof thrown into a project with Server 2003. I'm using Server 2003 with 2 locations- across town from each other. Both locations have a DSL connection and a static IP address at each. Both are using little 5 port D-Link routers (They are I-601 models, I believe). I also have VNC set up at my home and am using this to test the other two connections. With the two stores, I can VNC out, but not in. At my home, I can VNC either in or out... So, I can see other desktops, but others can not VNC into the machine at either store that's set up for the connection. I keep getting a "Server can not be found" error message. Now, to me, the problem seems to be centered around a firewall issue with Server 2003 (Forgot to mention that we took the router out and went directly from the Westell modem to the server... Same thing is happening, so I am assuming that it's a server issue). So, my question to all of you nice, smart people out in VNC land is this: on Server 2003, what am I overlooking in the firewall that could hinder an IP connection for the VNC from the outside world? Thank you one and all for your feedback. Cordially, Mark Lent _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
