Thank you Michael. I have setup my router to forward port 5800 to port
5900 on the machine I'm trying to connect to. Via Internet Explorer I
type "http://<ip address>:5800". I get my VNC login screen, but when I
type in the password I get the error "java.net.ConnectException:
Connection refused".
Did I do something wrong?
Thank you,
Nick

>From the FAQ:
"If your internet access is through a router which does Network Address
Translation, you may be able to configure the router to redirect
particular incoming ports to particular machines. So you could run
WinVNC with a display number of 0 on machine snoopy, and with display 1
on machine woodstock, then set your router to send port 5900 to snoopy
and 5901 to woodstock. See below for information on the other port
numbers used by VNC."
