Mike,
Once again, I appear to have never had to update or
even see the settings to the Linksys router that I
wanted to forward an IP address from; so that I could
connect through thr router using VNC.
Basically, I don't know where to look on the office
machine
that is connected to the router.
What is the folder or the file that I update for the
linkys router settings? I've searched several files in
the Control Panel. Sorry for the naively novice
questions.

We have similar backgrounds: I also have used VNC
since 1998 (Solaris,
mostly), and I also had some problems figuring this
out. The answer is
that you tell the router to forward traffic for port
5900 (and for port
5800 if you want to be able to use the http java
applet) to your local IP
which is 192.168.100.1. The IP 24.64.22.39 is
really the IP of the
router. So, once configured correctly, when the
router sees
24.64.22.39:5900, it will send that to
192.168.100.1:5900, and you're in!
If you need to have more than one VNC computer
running behind the router,
you have to use different VNC ports for the
different machines.
Good luck.
Mike

Although not a total newbie to VNC (used since
1998); I am new to
connecting to a VNC server through a router and am
not quite sure I
understand the process.
For example, I run VNC (3.3.7) server on my office
machine, that is
connected to a router. The IP address says
192.168.100.1 (fictional)
when I pass the mouse over the VNC icon. I use
whatismyip.com on the
server and it tells me the IP is 24.64.22.39
(fictional) When I go home
at night, and try to connect through my browser
and using either IP
address and port 5800 or 5900, it will not
connect. It times out.
After reading several posts I believe I understand
that I need to
'foreward' an IP address in the linksys router ap
that is running on my
office machine..correct? If so, which IP do I
forward? The 192.168.100.1
or the 24.64.22.39?

You can get to the router config page by using your web browser. Since
you probably have never gone to it before put http://192.168.1.1 in the
browser and hit enter it will then ask you for a user name and password,
leave the user name blank and just put admin in as password. This should
get you into the router config main page. I have never installed any of
the software that comes with cable modems or routers for home use so im
not sure if there is another way to get to the configuration page other
then pointing a web browser at the routers IP. Once you are in the
config page go to applications and gaming and you should be on the port
forwarding page.. GOOD LUCK =)
