Is your IP address 192.168.1.64? If so, that's not a routeable IP address. You'll need to find out what your "real" IP address is, by visiting http://www.gotomyvnc.com or http://www.whatismyip.com or http://www.showmyip.com, etc. Then you should be able to connect over the internet, provided you've taken care of forwarding the ports in your router and/or opening the appropriate ports in your firewall software (if any.)

I have also tried doing this through my browser by typing in http://***.168.1.64:5800/ and I get the Java applet but again it times out. I would like to connect to my computer remotely, and this is starting to get frustrating. Both of my computers (server and viewer) run on DSL or Broadband and are both connected now. I am running Windows XP Home SP2 on both computers, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You. PS - the *** that I put in in the connection addresses replaces the actual first 3 digits of the VNC Server address; NOT my IP address. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
