192.168.x.y is not a "routeable" IP address. That is a LAN-ONLY IP address. Please visit somewhere like http://www.whatismyip.com, http://www.gotomyvnc.com, http://www.showmyip.com etc. and get your "real" IP address from there. Also, you need to make sure you are allowing VNC to pass through your router. I recommend a good, thorough study of two sites: 1) http://faq.gotomyvnc.com 2) http://www.portforward.com The latter site will help you figure out how to allow VNC to pass the firewall on your router and access your LAN. Also, you need to make sure that winvnc4.exe is allowed to pass through your XP firewall, and it wouldn't hurt to add port 5900 to your XP firewall as an exception as well. John

It works great, as long as I'm accessing my VNC server from within my LAN. I cannot access my VNC server from a computer outside my LAN. I've had friends try to access my VNC server via web browser and they aren't able to bring up any webpage. My IP address for the server is showing as 192.168.0.101<http://192.168.0.101>, however my IP is different than that? Is this due to my router? My Windows XP Firewall? (as I've made it readily apparent, networking is not my specialty) I send my friends to http://192.168.0.101:5800 and they are not able to connect. Yet, if I go to this same address from another computer on my LAN, it brings up the Java app and password box. What gives? Also, a friend of mine in California (I am in Washington) shows the same IP address when he installed VNC server on his computer. So how is he supposed to connect to mine? Ahh, this is all so confusing. Especially when it works so well from within my LAN. We are both on Comcast... Anyways, I hope you don't think I've not looked at the FAQ, forums, and everywhere else -- I have. I just don't get it and so I decided to ask for help, officially.
