Yes it Depends on your hardware firewall
letting something out
I Can't get a login using
vncviewer billsmith.dyndns.info:50
Connection Refused at port 5950
BUT; BIG BUT
vncviewer billsmith.dyndns.info:0
THIS IS DOING SOMETHING VERY FISHY AND YET INTERESTING.....
It is showing me MY SCREEN !!!!!
WHAT The Heck is going on?
OK I have just recently turned on IPv6 on my ubuntu....
so maybe I'll blame it on that ;-)
so your firewall on your PC is blocking?
Antivirus also blocks vnc norton mcafee kaspersky comodo zonealarm

HI,
I am totally new to this so please be gentle !!
I am just doing some testing on behalf of a friend of mine who wants to be
able to control his work PC from home. I am doing OK up to now.
My question/problem is this:
I have two PCs at home I am doing my testing on. I have setup VNC
Enterprise (trial version) on both machines. I have also set up a dynamic
DNS via www.dyndns.org.
On my laptop I have set up the VNC server and when I hover over the icon on
the toolbar it says 192.168.0.3 which is obviously my internal IP address.
I can connect from my desktop using the VNC viewer and entering 192.168.0.3.
However, if I type in my dynamic DNS e.g. [EMAIL PROTECTED] I cannot
connect to my laptop. Is this because both of the PCs are behind my router
a Netgear DG834G Version 3. I am sure I have opened the necessary ports
5900 and 5800 (also 5950 and 5850 which is how I set up the server on my
laptop).
Any advise would be really appreciated. This seems an amazing product,
especially for the cost, and means I don't have to upgrade my friends PCs to
XP Pro J
Regards
Mark
