It sounds like Winvnc4.exe is not running. Maybe you ought to check with your ISP to see if they are blocking this service?

Yes, I have a normal ADSL-router (broad band) on my internet connection. But on this thing I have no restrictions for any software or ports... I let pass there evry internet traffic. Now I enabled winvnc4.exe as an exception in Windows Firewall and opend extra the prot 5900 in the same menu (win firewall). Unfortunately it still does not work... telnet-session doesn't work either. I also checked my host with the script on http://www.gotomyvnc.com, the result is: 81.63.xx.xx is not responding on Display 0 - 9 I'm sure that I use the right IP-Addrss, I got i from http://www.whatismyip.com/ It is also accessible by ping. Any other ideas? Thanks in advance, kind regards, Patrick -----Urspr|ngliche Nachricht----- Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von John Aldrich Gesendet: Montag, 10.

Also, I know you say you've disabled all the firewall software on your PC, however, it seems that simply disabling the XP firewally may not be enough. You may need to add the VNC server app to the "allowed" apps in the XP firewall. At least that has helped several other people on the list. What I would do is vist http://www.gotomyvnc.com and have it scan your system. It should also tell you what your "external" IP address is. If it can't find any listening servers, then you've got a problem. If you're on a dynamic IP address, you might want to sign up for a free dynamic DNS service such as "no-ip.info" or dyndns.org. You will need to run one of the free clients to keep your record up-to-date, but it'll help access your machine from outside. Once you've done that, when you go to connect to your PC from outside (once you've verified it *is* reachable from outside) you simply type in the machine and domain name and you should be able to connect just fine. It saves you from having to remember your external IP address. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Pddi Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2005 3:41 PM To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: Connection over internet doesn't work Hello together, I have the following problem (also after exactly reading the existing mailing-lists still not fixed ;-) ) First of all: I turned off all security services (just for the time I'm testing this tool). That means: bypassed the windows firewall, shut down personal firewall). Then I installed RealVNV 4.1.1 on my 2 home-pc's. The tool works fine in my LAN. Now I would like to connect on one of my home-pc over the internet (Home-PC is the server). The service works fine (so I can problem less connecting with a client in my LAN). But if I establish a connection from a client outside my LAN, the error message "unable to connect to host: Connection refused (10061)" appears. For sure I use the right IP-Address (not the internal one). Ping works fine. But I get an error message if I establish a telnet session on port 5900... Does anyone know what this problem is about? Could it be a problem of my provider (bluewin)? Once I changed the port (to 5937), but still the same problem. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
