I suspect, that verizon (or maybe her firewall) are blocking your connection attempt. what I do for remote support as you trying to provide is to start a vncviewer on my machine in "Listen Mode". then tell them to: 1- Right mouse click the little Vnc icon on bottom right corner of the screen 2- select add connection. 3- enter my dns address, (or ip-address) That way they connect to me, and don't have firewall/port blocking problems. Additionally, I add an Icon on there screen named "Screen to Jerry", which does the connection for them... try it this way. Jerry P.S. There is also a free version of realvnc 4. _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
