Is this the IP at the other end of the crossover cable? or the IP you got from your ISP? > > And i still have the Message: "Failed to connect to server". > > Is it possible, to run vnc via crossover cable or is there anything, > i4ve done wrong? > Is TCP/IP running over the link? Have both ends an ip-address in the same subnet (10.10.10.10 and 10.10.10.11 for example) Then you should be able to ping from one side to the other. If so, vnc should work too. OOPS, You mention XP, Sorry no experience. By default it has a firewall enabled, have no experience with that...
