Thanks to those who replied about my setup questions... I think I forwarded my linksys WRT54G router to proper ports with the help of a list serv-ite...Doyal McVicker...thanks Doyal HOWEVER: it sttill won't connect outside my LAN...from home to the office. 1. I tried the "gotomyvnc.com" but it says it is not recognized on any display. 2. I go to whatsmyipaddress.com and it gives me an IP address oof 69.53.34.219...and this is what the gotomyvnc.com uses as well What's the deal?...this is terribly frustrating...

Answer 1) Read the Manual, Luke... Seriously, there should be a "port configuration" or something like that in the admin website for the router. That's where you go to set up the port forwarding. Which Linksys router do you have? It's been awhile since I got into my router last, but I recall it wasn't that difficult to get into... Q 2) I signed up for a no-ip domain...they sayits working properly, but just how am I supposed to use this? Can I just enter it into my browser address line? If so, I had no luck? Must the router still be forwarded before this will work? A2) Yes. You will need to do that. You can use no-ip and VNC as follows: In the VNC Viewer window you'd type "mypc.no-ip.com" (or whatever your machine name is with NO-IP.) If you want to use the browser, you'll put that as the web address. okay Q 3) questions: Do I still use the VNC Viewer to use the internet method? Or do I just use the web browser to gain access? A 3) Either. Although VNC Viewer tunneled via ssh or ssl is still the "safest" method. Q 4) What do I enter into the Viewer prompt? What do I enter into the web browser address line...is it one or the other or do you use both at the same time? I have learned a lot about the mechanics behind this stuff but not much practical tips on what to enter where? Thanks a bunch...not trying to just repeat the same questions from the past. A 4) See my response to Q2. Again, as for setting up the port forwarding in the router, you'll have to read the manual for the router to figure out how to do that. And with PC Anywhere, you'll still have the same problem of having to do port-forwarding, so PC Anywhere is not going to be a "walk in the park" either. Tyler A.
