I find it's easiest to test with telnet. From the machine where you plan to run the viewer,
telnet server 5900 (If you're server is running Mac OS or Unix and your display number is not 0, add the display number to 5900). Then if the remote computer answers with: RFB 003.008 you know connectivity is there. If this doesn't work, check firewall settings on the server first of all to make sure that port 5900 is open. On windows this is somewhere in the control panels. If the client machine is blocking it, Windows should pop up a message about it and allow you to unblock it. Could you be a little more explicit about your network setup? These machines are connected via wireless, or a hub, or a switch, or a router? alex On 9/7/06, Paul Sumner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I am tring to connect my 3G laptop (T-mobile network) to my home computer, > it > says in VNC's documentation that if you can ping the machine, then you can > connect to it via realvnc.
