Which end, server or client? If it is on the server you must set up port forwarding so that connections to the router on the port in question (typically inbound connections to port 5900, 5600 and or 5500 depending on what type of VNC connection you are trying to achieve) are forwarded to the LAN IP address of the VNC server machine. It is a good idea to allow incoming connections only from the IP of the client machine, if the server configuration menu offers this option. > On one side, the Fireawall is WinXP's, and ZoneAlarm on the other side. The server software firewall will need to be configured to allow incoming connections from the client on the respective port (as above). ZoneAlarm may try to block outbound connections from the client (if ZoneAlarm is installed on the client machine). Make sure you click to allow the VNC viewer to connect to the Internet if/when ZoneAlarm pops up trying to be clever. > Hope this help. It would have helped more if you told us which machine (server or client) is behind which network (with router or without) . . . -- Regards, Mick [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list VNC-List@realvnc.com To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
