Carlos:
Heya. When you try to connect from the Viewer to your
Server, what IP address are you using? Unless you're running
a dynamic DNS client (like www.noip.com's), it can be tricky
to know what IP address your ISP has given you, especially
with DSL (with some ISPs, your external IP address, the one
you'd have to point a VNC Viewer to, could change several times
a day).
To test your Speedstream, though, try this: startup a
web-browser on your VNC Server, and point it to www.GoToMyVNC.com
and run the scan there. If it can connect, then a Viewer should
be able to as well.
good luck.
