Hi,
I downloaded your VNC program (the free one) to my two computers the other
day. However, after carefully reading the documentation, I am still unable
to connect my two computers together.
I have a desktop and a laptop, both of which are running Windows XP
Professional. I am on a home network (there are a total of four computers in
the house), so each computer is connected through a router (Linksys WRT54G).
I have no trouble using Window's Remote Desktop to connect my laptop to my
desktop when I am in my home, yet I am unable to connect when I am offsite
(such as at school, where I have a wireless connection available). I am
planning a trip for later this month, and would really like to be able to
access my desktop at home. So, let me ask you a couple of questions.
For the purpose of connecting my laptop to my desktop, which is the server
and which is the viewer? I am assuming the server is my desktop and the
viewer is the laptop. If this is true, how do I configure each one?
When I am through using my desktop I log off, but leave the computer
running. Must I be logged in (and leave it that way) if I want to remotely
access the computer? I wouldn't think so.
My desktop's IP address is 192.168.1.100. When I open the viewer on my
laptop, is this what I put in the dialog box? I tired it and got a "timed
out msg" Remember, I am doing this at home. I haven't tried to test it
offsite.
My router's IP address is 192.168.1.1 and my laptop's is 192.168.1.103.
Must I input those IP addresses anywhere during set up?
I have left everything else (connection port is 5900, Serve Java viewer port
on 5800, etc) defaulted to how it was set up when I loaded the program.
Please instruct me in as much detail as possible how to configure my two
computers so they can talk to each other when I am away. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Russell G. Cook
