Hello group! I am hoping someone can provide guidance with this problem.
I have two remote PCs running WinVNC as a service behind a Linksys NAT (ports redirected) and a cable modem. When I try to connect to either one, it accepts the password and displays the screen as it should. However, the connection is somehow lost within a range of 5 to 15 seconds. During this period I am able to control the remote PC. After another 20 seconds or so VNC Viewer closes. (TightVNC viewer generates a dialog box with this message "Error while waiting for server message".) After a certain timeout the remote PC will start accepting connections again, but I still can't get a connection for longer than 5-15 seconds. I can use VNC internally on the LAN without any trouble, so I suspect either the Linksys firewall or the cable modem. I don't know how to go about testing though. I have other Linksys boxes in place and they all work fine. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
