Start by making sure the XP firewall is turned off for the LAN adapter. (right-click the LAN connection in "network connections", select properties and select the advanced tab) Make sure you can ping the modem computer (192.168.0.1) You should also try from the CMD window "telnet 192.168.0.1" (this tells you that the firewall is down and a telnet deamon is running.)
the second tells you that VNC is listening on port 5900) Next, make sure VNC server is listening on the correct network connection type "netstat -an" from a command window on the modem computer you should see an entry for port 5900 in LISTEN mode. You can also try "telnet 192.168.0.1 5900" from the CMD window on the laptop (It should look like it connects without returning any prompts to your telnet client) That should get you started in the right direction. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tom M." <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2005 4:37 AM Subject: Help getting VNC to work on LAN with Netgear router > I have a Netgear wireless router (WGR614) with two machines hooked to it.
