I am confused. I was under the impression that with VNC you can access another computer from anywhere as long as the computer you are trying to access has given you permission.
Here's a couple of things that come to mind. You can connect from anywhere *if* it has a public IP, *if* you are both connected to the Internet, and *if* your respective ISPs allow vnc traffic (which most would). What can I do to ensure that will be able to access another computer, even if I am not on the same internet connection as the other computer? Meet the above listed conditions. I suspect when you were at your friends house you used their internal net to connect to them, and as such you used an IP that started with 172.16-31, 10., or 192.168., indicating it was a private IP. When you went home your ISP can't route to those destinations because they are strictly private IPs (it wouldn't know where to send the packets) so you couldn't connect. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
