Actually, you don't want the "SAME" address you want the address to be on the same subnet. (i.e. 64.26.139.96 & 64.26.139.97) One could also set up a static route, but this has nothing to do with VNC.

These are the only two machines on this little network. The server is showing in the tray of the W98 unit and gives the IP as: 169.254.73.250. When I ping it from the viewer end (Linux) I get the following. #ping 169.254.73.250 (169.254.73.250) from 64.26.139.96 : 56 (84) bytes of data from 206.191.7.113 host unreachable When I run the #vncviewer 169.254.73.250 it tells me that it can't reach the network.

What am I missing? Any help appreciated.
