Just joined the group & am setting up VNC so my wife & I can log into
our home PCs from work. But I'm having a similar problem as Rob.
The equipment on the home network looks like this:
Broadband cable modem - Motorola VOIP router - Netgear FVS318 - 3 PCs
It's setup like this so the Motorola can handle VOIP quality assurance.
The Motorola also handles DHCP. The two PCs we need to connect to are
setup with a static IP.
Both the Motorola & the Netgear have ports forwarded:
3389, 5800 & 5900 forwarded to static IP of PC1
5801 & 5901 forwarded to static IP of PC2
Both PCs are running WinXP Pro SP2 & I've put in firewall exceptions for
WinVNC4.exe & ports 5800, 5900, 5801 & 5901.
I'm running DynDNS & the client is updated from the Netgear.
The network has been setup like this for over 2 yrs. and has worked well
for everything we've tried. VOIP, DVR recording TV programing, VPN
access to multiple work networks, and Remote Desktop access back to PC1
(hence the port 3389 being forwarded to PC1).
So I'd like to setup remote access to 2 PCs (PC1 & PC2) & thought the
VNC java viewer would do the trick. We both work for companies that have
rather large secure networks so I figured the likelihood of being able
to use a java viewer was pretty good. Is it likely to expect ports like
5800 or 5900 to be open in a large corporate network?
The problem is when I try to connect via the VNC Viewer, I get the
infamous "Unable to connect to host: connection refused (10061)" error.
The address I'm using is the DynDNS domain name, domain.homeip.net:5900
or domain.homeip.net:5901.
And if I try using Internet Explorer, I get the "Page cannot be
displayed" error. The address I'm using is the DynDNS domain name,
http://domain.homeip.net:5800 or http://domain.homeip.net:5801.
I can use VNC to connect to the various PCs within the network without
any issues at all. And when I run the script on http://gotomyvnc.com, it
tells me that 5900 & 5901 are working, but I still can't connect.
Checking you out at IP address "xx.xx.xxx.xx"...
xx.xx.xxx.xx is accepting connections on Display 0 (TCP port 5900).
xx.xx.xxx.xx is accepting connections on Display 1 (TCP port 5901).
xx.xx.xxx.xx is not responding on Display 2.

Scan of "xx.xx.xxx.xx" is complete.

Sorry about the length of this email. Hope I've outlined things well
enough that someone can make a recommendation as to what my next step is.
Thanks for your time.
