Hi Bill,
I am no expert however the next phase is to Port forward 5900 to a specific
IP address i.e. the IP address of the VNC Server. If you have more than 1 pc
on the network you could PING the one you want by name to find out its IP
address. If you have static IP address then easy however you need to talk to
SMC again re Port forwarding this was would be PORT FORWARD 5900 to
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx assuming you have private network 192.168.xxx xxx
I feel you are nearly there but my lack of expertise re routers doesn't help.
John

Hi John & Ron. Some progress but I'm not quite there yet...Talked to SMC,
the manufacturer of the router. They showed me how to open port 5900
which
we did. But this did not result in remote access!!...So then I removed
the
router and connected from the cable modem directly to the pc. This
allowed
remote access just fine. Obviously something within the router is keeping
things from working. Any Ideas? I will also talk with SMC support again.
They mentioned that once ports are opened, the problem can't be the router
as it is merely a "switch". Give me your feed back if you have
time...Thanks...Bill
