Puts us in the same boat - I started using is as an adjunct to my work - it has possibilities for our business and supporting our clients - I started by using my own system as a guinea pig (lab rat?)<G>
Thanks again - I was looking for suggestions and any will do since what I'm seeing makes no sense.

I do NOT know. Maybe only the SERVER-side port# can be changed. What that could be for would be to allow your firewall to accept incoming port#5900 and then re-MAP that to a different port # when it hands the connection over to the server. (Tho WHY someone might want to do that with VND is a bit beyond me. But, in my short-time work in a firewall-devel group, people DO seem to want to do stuff like that.) But, I'm totally talking just theory here in ALL of my postings, since I do NOT know much of the specifics of the VNC product. I'm only another user monitoring this list for a while trying to solve a few of my OWN questions/issues, etc. So, take what I say with a grain of salt. Cheers...

Can you change the port numbers on the viewer end? Where?

(Therefore, the OS itself, knowing that there is NOT any server [of any kind] running on the requested incoming PORT number, send back a 'connection refused'.) In the particulars of VNC, the DEFAULT port that both the client and server expect to communicate on is port number 5900. So, my guess is that your VNC server and your VNC client are NOT agreeing on the port-number to use. In otherwords someone or something is causing a port-number mis-match. Hope this helps...someone will correct me if I'm in error...

This is the same connection that worked for about a month, then started giving me time-outs. I'm using a broad-band connection, coming out of the cable modem, into a LinkSys router, the internal network is class C 192.168.0.xxx netmask 255.255.255.0 - internally, I can make a connection, no problem. Externally, for a while it quit working entirely (time-outs), then suddenly now it's refusing the connection. Nothing visible has changed - the VNC properly sees the "local" IP and the DynDns updater properly identifies the external (real) IP of the cable modem. Any suggestions as to how to troubleshoot? It's all pretty much set for defaults, it doesn't seem to be the VNC - as I said it works WITHIN the network - I'm scratching my head on this one. It SHOULD be working (well, it WAS working - then just suddenly quit - the IP hasn't changed, either internally or externally).
