This shouldn't matter, though I believe you want to hard code the IP to make some of the other options work (like port forwarding). See the article KB10933123 on the Linksys website (search in their Knowledge Base). > - won request enabled & disabled Didn't see anything about this. If it is a typo for WAN request, then it shouldn't matter. It looks like that is just for pings. > -port range 5900~5900 protocol "tcp", ip addr 192.168.1.102 > the ip address i rec'd by running "winipcfg" This is the option that should work. If you are getting your IP from DHCP I guess it doesn't (see above). > -"dmz host" was enabled & disabled This is also a way to make it work. The DMZ, though, is a security risk because all ports are forwarded to it. From a security standpoint this is like putting that machine in without the Linksys router. I believe a static IP (instead of DHCP) is required here, too. > - port triggerig enabled & disabled > application name "vnc" > trigger port range 5900~5900 > incoming port range 5900~5900 This is not what you want. This is for programs like ICQ that send requests out of the network first. > -anti virus program was disabled > > i'm running windows 98 > i can ping the computer > i'm connected to the internet by high speed cable, the cable > company says that vnc will work through their system but they > won't support it any suggestions or comments you have would > be appreciated please advise if you need more information Reasonable. And since you said it worked without the linksys that means they aren't doing any kind of weird blocking of port 5900. > thanks > terry The above knowledge base article also mentions that it won't work with older versions of the firmware (prior to 1.32). What model number and firmware level is your router? I wish I could give you a step to step, but the only Linksys I could look at just got taken out by lightning. Take a look at the document from Linksys, though, because it seems to do a good job. I would give you a link, but it turns out to be three lines long. Search for number KB10933123 on their site. -- William _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
