Re: Using VNC over the internet

[Robert]

FWIW, I have a friend who has a Linksys 4-port router Ver 3 and who 
reports that in order to get port forwarding to "take", he must first 
clear the router's password back to the default of "admin".  Besides 
being different than my ver 2 router, the idea of zapping the password 
to change another option is ridiculous BUT I know this person very well 
and he would not have told me that if it hadn't been accurate. 
I find it interesting that a firmware update is available for the Ver 3 
4-port router 
http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=561 but 
none is shown for the 8-port box 
http://www.linksys.com/products/product.asp?grid=34&scid=29&prid=604
Note also that my Linksys 4-port router, ver 2 with firmware 1.44.2, Dec 
13 2002  works like the users guide says (and like any reasonable person 
would expect).

	When you went to www.gotomyvnc.com, you should see an IP address.  Does this address correspond your router's address in public port?  If no, there must be a firewall/router somewhere between your router and Internet backbone routers, possibly your ISP's router.

Hello,

I have an 8-port linksys cable/dsl router.  On the "forwarding" page, I have entered the following:

Service Port Range  Protocol    IP address
    5900-5900          Both         192.168.1.100
    5800-5800          Both         192.168.1.100
The IP address is that of my PC, assigned by the router (DHCP).  I have also tried 192.168.1.1 which is the lan address of the router.

After setting this up, I went to www.gotomyvnc.com and tested my setup, which fails in both cases.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Chuck

 You need port-forwarding. Please read the FAQ and manual:

Objet : Using VNC over the internet
Hello,

I have successfully installed VNC server on 3 Windows systems, all running
Windows 98SE. I can access any of these systems from any of the others with
no problem. I can't however, figure out how to access them over the
internet. All 3 of these systems are connected via a dsl/cable router which
feeds a cable modem.
Can anyone please give me step by step instructions for accessing these
systems over the internet? Do I need a web page to do this?
Thanks,

Chuck Bruno
