Guess I've been lucky so far, with these particular machines (with XP/Pro on both ends), and should take this as a heads-up there can be trouble down the road. Well, will have to take it a machine at a time, and maybe try Remote Desktop again (with a simpler cable modem->router->PC setup) when/if I do run into trouble with UltraVNC on some other machine. > > Tried Remote Desktop but couldn't get it to work through a > > modem->router->router setup, which led me to LogMeIn's free offer, > > modem->router->which > > I really liked (who wouldn't <s>), but was burned when they changed > > it, so decided to switch to something else that was free and would > > stay that way. > > I refuse to pay extra for something that should be part of > the O/S to begin with. That's what I meant <s>. It's the recurring monthly bills that get me going to great lengths to avoid. > Forwarding port 3389 always works for me, btw. Sounds like a good thing to know, so will make a note of this port in my doc. Without checking, I think I'm setup with 5800 or 5900, whichever is the default.
