My home computer has Win XP Pro, Verizon DSL with a Westell 2200 Modem. My office PC has Win XP Pro, Verizon DSL, a Netgear router and Trend Micro Internet Security 2005 firewall.
I cannot consistently connect to my work PC from home. I know my firewall settings must be OK because I can connect at times with no problems. But then if I disconnect and try to reconnect even 15 minutes later, I will often get the message "unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (10060)". When I get that message I will try to pathping or tracert to my work PC and it will be unsuccessful. I have also noticed that if someone in my office reboots my work PC, I will usually be able to connect. Unfortunately, if no one is at my office, this cannot be done. At first I thought that it my be a problem on the network between my home and office, but could the network be that unstable that it would time out every 15 minutes? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
