Re: WinVNC connection problems

[Michael Roland]

Hallo!

The Host (Work)    Windows XP    installed WinVNC 3.3.3r9
 created "Incoming connection" via Microsoft XP network wizard
The Client (Home)  Windows 98SE  installed WinVNC 3.3.3r9
 Dialup connection to Tiny's work number
 Dialup: connect without any problems
I start VNC Viewer from home and type in 127.0.0.1
and 127.0.0.1:0 and 127.0.0.1:1 and 127.0.0.1:2......etc
and receive "Failed to connect to server" each time.

You can't use 127.0.0.1 as host address. This is the loopback
adapter's address, which means that by typing 127.0.0.1 you
try to connect to your local computer ("client"). Therefore you
need to figure out the "public" ip address of the host pc - you
should get it by moving over the vnc trayicon while the dun
connection is established.
