Hi James, Thanks for the response. Correct me if I were wrong, here is what I feel about the possiblities that you have provided; port forwarding to wrong local IP: This may not be true since b'coz I see the following message using nettest.cgi "The IP address requesting this web page is 70.143.85.253 (REMOTE_ADDR) Connecting to port 5900 ... succeeded." Wrong IP in VNC viewer: This may not be applicable b'coz my first test is with nettest.cgi using a web browser and that did not find a server at port 5900.
firewall enabled: I do not have special firewall on this PC (except the basic windows XP firewall). I all tried it with disabling the windows firewall but no luck :( Is there any other way I could try to debug this setup. Appreciate your help. Thank you. - VSR James Weatherall <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Senthil, It sounds like you're set your port forwarding to pass connections on port 5900 to the wrong local IP address (a non-existent one), or that you are specifying the wrong IP address in VNC Viewer when trying to connect, or that your server computer has a firewall enabled.
