Quick Diagram:
PC1 ----------------------Firewall---------------------------------((Internet))---------------------PC2 (standard modes) If PC1 is remote controlling PC2 then you need 5900 outbound (this can change depending on the setup of PC2) If PC1 is being controlled by PC2 then you need 5900 inbound (port map on firewall or option can change this port) (reverse modes) If PC1 is being controlled by PC2, BUT PC1 initiates the connection (add listener) then you need 5500 outbound If PC2 is being controlled by PC1, BUT PC2 initiates the connection (add listener) then you need 5500 inbound Hope this helps clear up some of the port stuff up. Let me know which way you are going if you still have problems. --Angelo On Mon, 25 Oct 2004 17:20:16 -0700, Kim Fehrenbach <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have a user who needs to connect to a VNC viewer.
