the comma indicates multiple ip addresses. use one or the other. since I suspect you are trying to connect across the internet, I would recommend the 66.140.92.18 address as the other one is a non-routable internal address.
the vnc listening viewer option would require you to have tcp port 5500 unblocked on any firewalls you may have and redirected at the router level if you are behind a nat router. hope that helps erik -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Buddy Craigg Sent: Sunday, March 20, 2005 01:14 To: [email protected] Subject: How do I get my moms computer to connect to me? How do I get my moms computer to connect to me? My mom is 67 and she just isnt catching on I need to show her how to do things like view attachments and such. I swear its like trying to land a 747 over the phone. She is on a dial up connection. I tried to have her run a service. Her numbers at the time were 192.168.59.6,66.140.92.18 Do I need to type it in differently? Do I need a space somewhere? 192period168period59period6comma66period140period92period18 All I got was an error message of unable to resolve host by name: no such host is known (11001) So that didnt work. Then I tried running my viewer in listening mode and had her use my external IP address. And that didnt work. I can use the viewer listening mode between my LAN computers and using my LAN IP numbers it works. Its probably something that I need to change on my firewall for my inbound connections but I dont understand what I was doing wrong when trying to connect to her server.
