Hi,
My thought process was:
If computer B (with the router) can connect to computer A by FTP, they can
see each other!
Why they cannot ping each other? The router prevents that to happen.
(Spoofing protection)
The router is not stopping communication on port 20 and 21 (FTP port).
The router is not stopping communication on port 80 (HTTP port).
Because Computer B can uses FTP and HTTP.
Then, I figure that I will communicate on the port number 80 to make a test.
No, it failed
Ok, I will try to make the server connect to the client (Default port is
5900).
No, it failed
I will make the server connect to the client on port 80.
No, it failed
Like I said before this router (Bell / Sympatico) has a locked firmware.
I event call Bell / Sympatico to ask them more info to resolve this.
I don't have to tell you they don't have any clues!

Either your router at computer A or its software firewall is blocking
incoming
connections from the VNC server. Set it up so that it accepts the VNC
server
IP address and port 5500 - I believe that the default port for the
listening
VNC Viewer is 5500? Someone else advise on this because I am not sure.
What is strange is if I run any FTP server on computer A, computer B can
connect to it and transfer file back and forth, no problem. The IP
address
used by the FTP software are the same that I'm using for VNC.
I know the router stop some activity on some port but event if I try
using
to pass 59716 (port 80) for VNC it failed with: Connection timed out
Just to retain sanity I would keep the ftp and VNC services separate in
terms
of ports and firewall settings, whether they use different protocols or
not.
