I am a computer support professional,. and have discovered recently that I can use this great software to aid my clients remotely, so I have been installing - or trying to install - vnc in all kinds of different network layouts. In this particular network, a client has DSL access, a tainet ca81r router, and Windows XP in several machines. In the router, I have accessed the "virtual server" section and set the following port assignments: External Port - Internal Port - ip address 5900 5900 10.0.0.6 5901 5901 10.0.0.20 those ips are the internals of the two computers i particularlly need to access in the network. In both computers (10.0.0.6 and 10.0.0.20), I have done the port 5900 (in the 10.0.0.20 i used the 5901 port) exception at the Windows firewall, and also unblocked the vnc viewer and server programs just in case, even though they run the server part. To find the IP address of the network from outside, I asked my client to check myipaddress.com The router is doing NAPT (dynamic nat) obviously configured as a router, no the default config for standalone dsl access with "Winpoet". Now this happens: there is no way to get into the vnc servers mentioned from outside. After about two weeks of testing (this client resides two hours away from where i live) just yesterday it ocurred to me what would happen if i tried the other way around, that is using the "Add New Client" feature of the VNC Server. Imagine what.... it worked perfectly. I really wonder what is missing, what have I done wrong, or what test can i make to figure out the way to connect the straight way. I would like to point out that before taking the easy way out of asking i have read about a hundred messages from this list, and in deja.com and google. The gotomyvnc.com page seems to always give positive results, as a side note. Additionally, a last doubt, maybe it4s a dumb question: will the reverse connection (server behind router / firewall to me, directly connected) work seamlessly without any port redirection, unblocking...etc?) I will appreciate some hints. Thanks in advance.
