How do you connect to the internet? DSL/Cable-modem? I'm guessing that you
either use dial-up or have a router for cable or DSL. What you need to do is

Both machines need to be connected to the internet or somehow already be

hostname or ping ip.address.of.remote If you are not already

Your router at home is probably blocking the connection. You need to enable
at least ports 5901 and/or 5801 through your router and point it to your
machine at home. Once you do that, it *should* work. I would suggest,
though, that running VNC and having that port open to the outside world is
What you want to do is tell your router to forward port 9001 to one
computer's port 9000 and 9002 to port 9000 on the other one. If I had more
than one PC running VNC server, I could easily do that with my Linksys
router.

You can do it that way, or you can point port 5901 to port 5900 on the

It looks like it only created x:0 and you are trying to connect to the third
virtual terminal (x:2). Try x:0

Known issue with RD. VNC (Free Version) cannot connect to a Windows machine
until it is rebooted after using Fast User Switching or Remote Desktop.
According to Wes with RealVNC, the next freeware version to come out will
have that capability, just like the Enterprise version currently does,
Try telnetting on port 5901 and see if you get an rfb... on a black
screen. If you do, you've got VNC server running correctly and/or routing
correctly. If not, then there's a problem communicating to the VNC
servereither it's not running or you can't reach it through the router
or something.
Yes. You can install it on Windows XP. Keep in mind you'll need to allow it
past the sp2 firewall, probably in both directions.

No, I would suggest you visit http://www.whatismyip.com and have him connect
to THAT address, as both the 192.168.x.x and 169.254.249.x are
reserved IP addresses for use on a LAN and do not travel over the
internet. that being said, I believe the 169 address is the default address
on Microsoft
Since you're using your router to auto-config the wireless adapter, you'll
need to change that information in your Netgear wireless router's DHCP
config, or, alternatively, hard-code an IP address on your PC/Laptop and
ignore the DHCP information.

There's also http://www.gotomyvnc.com which will check to see what ports, if
any, VNC is running on. :-)

Reboot your XP box. VNC is (currently) incompatible with Remote Desktop and
Fast User Switching. Version 4.1 of RealVNC (freeware version) will have a
fix for this as does the current Enterprise version of RealVNC. Don't know
when/if other flavors of VNC (i.e. TightVNC) will have this bugfix.
