Almost all SOHO routers in the 150 and under price range are also NAT devices. Your ISP (roadrunner) provides you most likely with a single IP Address; the NAT (actually PAT technically) allows multiple computers to share an IP.
In order to to be able to reach a specific port on one of the inside computers you need to perform a port forward. This website canhelp you with how to perform a port forward for most types of routers www.portforward.com<http://www.portforward.com>(It also tells you your internet IP). The default port number for VNC is 5900 though you can change this via options. Once you have a port forward configured you need to configure it to use the outside IP. --ANgelo On 7/18/05, Scheier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > As per suggestions from this list, I have completely disable ZoneAlarm, > and made sure the Windows Firewall in Control Panel is disabled. > Thanks for the suggestions, but still no go. > > Is the Linksys router the same problem as with NAT router? > When I ping the ip address of either of my two computers that > sit behind my Linksys router, the ping is unsuccessful.
