My question is so general that I can't effectively search the archives.
I've read the "documentation", the "faqs" etc.. but can't manage to find
the answer.
I'm trying to help the parents in another state by VNCing into their
machine. I've had them download the latest VNC server. I've downloaded
the latest VNC viewer. I've got their IP. Which is not through a router.
I've had them go to the test page, and I've got their IP, but it doesn't
connect to 5900. I've had them disable any anti virus software, they
don't have any firewalls. They have set a password for authentication.
But still I can not seem to connect to them. Do I need to look more into
port forwarding?
In the viewer window, I've tried, IP:0, IP:IP:0, IP. I don't know if I'm
typing the path right. If it needs the password.
I imagined that this should be a simple connect. I'm also sure that many
people have done this with success. I just need a little nudge in the
right direction. Any help is appreciated.
Jimmy
