I'm guessing that you are using windows xp service pack 2. This automatically installs andenables windows firewall.
You need to allow the vncserver to listen on port 5900 (and 5800 if you want Java support) The 5500 are only if you want to run a listening viewer it works the same as regular vnc except that the server computer initates the connection. You only NEED one port 5900. --Angelo On Tue, 19 Oct 2004 16:19:26 -0700, R.
