The problem you are encountering is that 192.168.x.x is not a "routeable" IP
address... you need to know what your EXTERNAL IP address is. An easy way to
do this is to visit the web page, http://www.whatismyip.com and it'll show
you your current external IP address. However, since you're on a dynamic IP,
it could change.
The easiest way to get around a dynamic IP is to set up an account with one
of the free dynamic DNS providers such as no-ip.com or dyndns.org. They will
have a client that you download and configure with your login, password and
machine name. Then when you want to connect to your machine at home, you
just point the VNC viewer to "mymachine.dyndns.org" or whatever.

Subject: SMC2804WBRP router configuration
It will become clear as you read on that I'm a real novice at this. I'd
appreciate any step-by-step , dumbed-down advice any of you would be
willing to share.
I want to be able to access my home computer from work. I initially wanted
to ftp files from and to home but couldn't get that to work. I'm now trying
VNC.
My service at home provides a dynamic IP address. I have a SMC router,
model SMC2804WBRP-G-CA. When I query my IP config it tells me it's using
192.168.1.100 and this is confirmed on the status page when I access router
administration. I've done some port forwarding to get better performance
out of e-mule but whatever I've done with port 5900 hasn't provided access
thus far. I've searched the archives and tried several approaches
recommended for other routers (all failed - probably misinterpreted).
Suggestions? Guidance?
Thanks.
Jim
