I want to use VNC so that the misses can connect to her business PC from the home. This is the first time I have installed and tried to use it. The documentation is pretty good - but sorely lacking some details for sure!
I'm sure you have heard this a hundred time, but heck, I cannot find any simple explanations or help on how to troubleshoot this. An it seems all the articles I do read say "make sure you can ping the server" - or, "hold your mouse over the VNC tray icon" to figure out the IP address (nahhhhh). I think I need some help or discussion on VNC, routers, firewalls, and stuff like that. Also, I seem to find NOTHING on registering and deregistering - not even on RealVNC home page. What is this all about? I have VNC server running on a Windows XP home edition machine - across town. The internet connection is through a DSL modem, provided by local telco. When you hold the mouse over VNC icon, you get this: "VNC Sever (Service): 192.168.1.96". Well of course, I cannot ping this local private address from my home (the other side of town). So, what IS the IP address I must enter into my VNC viewer on the home machine? So, I do not think there is anything on the market at present that uses static IP addressing. Everything is set for obtain IP dynamically, and I believe nearly all routers use NAT. So, how do you determine the IP addressing information to plug into the viewer? Any good articles or discussion on this? Any information on what you have to do in your router, if anything? Her router is a Westell DSL Cable Modem. Sure would like to get this working. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
