Angelo, Thanks for the information about port 5500. I guess that's the piece that I am looking to make it work.
As for the configuration of the router, I do not have access to it. It is an ISP provided router. I do not know how to do it. I am using a Lucent cellPipe under PPPoA. I can see the menu and possibly tinker with the router but I do not have a manual of it. My guess is it is possible but I just plainly don't know how to configure it. So that makes No-IP not yet possible for me because until I make the IP forwarding for public and private IP with my DSL DSL router, VNC will still not work. Is that right? - Cesar -----Original Message----- From: Angelo Sarto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 04, 2004 4:44 AM To: Cesar Dela Paz Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: FW: SelectObject to CompatbleDC failed listening vnc viewer listens on port 5500. so you will need that forwarded to work. Additionally, if you have access to configure the router then you could just forward 5900 on the router to the xp machine (pc2) if you are worried about dynamic IP then sign up for a free account at no-ip.com. this will give you a domain name to map to your dynamic IP. the client can run a service (called DUC) that will update the dns at an interval (that you set up).
