You NEED to tell the Linksys router to forward connections directed to 5254 to YOURPC'sIPOk, I took some of the suggestions and tried them out. Here is what is happening now. I have two computers both set up to receive incoming connections on port 5900 for the viewer, and 5800 on the java server (default settings on both). First, I forwarded port 5800 directly to machine 1, and am able to access from inside and outside the network with the java server. No problem, but I need this to work on both Machine 1 and Machine 2, so I need a way to get port 5800 forwarded to both machines. So I used my router to forward EXTERNAL port 5252 to port 5800 on machine 1, and forward EXTERNAL port 5254 to port 5800 on machine 2. (I'm using a Linksys router so I used the "UPnP Forwarding" function to do this). That way if I type in http://mydomain.com:5252, the router should direct the traffic to port 5800 on machine 1 (which it is because I am getting the java applet prompt). With that setup, everything works fine from within the LAN when using the VNC viewer. But, if I try to access one of the machines from inside OR outside the network using the java server, I get the refused connection message. The message is gives me is "java.net.connect.Exception: connection refused". I tried every server name combination I could think of and it still boots me out. I tried www.mydomain.com:0, www.mydomain.com:1, www.mydomain.com:5800, www.mydomain.com:5252.... you get the idea. Am I missing something??? I'm getting pretty frustrated here. It seems to me that this should be fairly easy to accomplish, but VNC keeps booting me out! HELP!
UnPnP won't do it because your are not initiating the connection from within your LAN
