What have you done to have the failed connection? And how did it fail?
Let me guess: you have typed http://xx.xx.xx.xx:5800/ and this failed, right? That's because you forgot to open port 5800 as well in your router? On the other hand, make sure your port 5900 and 5800 are pointing to the SAME internal PC, or else don't expect it to work, logically :) > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Opie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoyi : lundi 24 mai 2004 04:13 > @ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : Read FAQ did a lot of testing but still can not connect > > Ok, > > To get started I am running 98SE / RR Cable Access / Netgear Router > > I opened port 5900 - Thru the router and tested with http://www.gotomyvnc.com/ > > Result - > > xx.xx.xxx.xxx is accepting connections on Display 0 (TCP port 5900). > > > Also went to https://grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2 > > Sheilds UP - Port Authority Edition Internet Vulnerability Profiling > by Steve Gibson, Gibson Research Corporation. > > 5900 > OPEN!Unknown Protocol for this port > Unknown Application for this port > > And tested the connection with my 2 PC's at home - I can connect to both PC's from > the > internal IP 192.168.0.2 & 192.168.0.3 and control the other computer also tried the > Java > connection http://192.168.0.2:5800 - http://192.168.0.3:5800 - and that worked also. > > But when I try to connect with the router IP it comes failed to connect ......... > > I checked my IP thru http://www.whatismyipaddress.com/ and it is the same as the > routers > status properties. > > What am I doing wrong I tried all I can find, here on the FAQ and I also looked > around the > web for help I am at a loss on what to do next........... > > Thanks for any help, > > Opie > > > > > > > Brian Patterson > > Site Admin & WebMaster > > http://www.TackleBoxClub.com > > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Do you Yahoo!? > Yahoo!
