Here's more info.... I have now set both TCP and UPD to forward ports for 5501, 5801, 5901. I grabbed my notebook pc and set it in front of my desktop, got online here at home, and I used the notebook to connect to my office pc using vnc. Then I launched VNC on my office pc to connect back to my home desktop to test this out. Again, I get the VNC password prompt, it accepts, then a blank black desktop screen with "Please wait - Initial Screen Loading..." The difference is, that whilst sitting here in front of my desktop, I noticed the mouse responding. So using my notebook and watching my desktop monitor, I was able to execute mouse clicks and close and open programs. This lasts about 30 seconds and then VNC drops the connection. weird, huh...? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bruce Sellnow [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What ports are needed to forward? I had this working fine on my old router with cable internet, but this Actiontec is not very user friendly. Anyway, do we have to forward 5500, 5800, and 5900? And did you have to set it for tcp AND udp? My setup is that I have two pc's that I need to access. (false IP's listed here for reference) Static IP from ISP 175.152.15.67 Internal Static IP's 100.25.15.61 & 100.25.15.62 Old Setup with Netgear Wireless Router Port Forward: 5911 to 100.25.15.61:5911 PC1 VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5911 Port Forward: 5912 to 100.25.15.62:5912 PC2 VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5912 So VNC Viewer access from the WAN was simply 175.152.15.67:5911 or 175.152.15.67:5912 Worked great. New Router: Actiontec GT704-WGv2 Current problem: VNC internally works fine. Right now, accessing from the WAN, I can get a password prompt from VNC, it accepts my password, then the screen goes black as it's 'loading' but never completes. It eventually times out and disconnects. So I know I am close but don't have *everything* quite right. PC 1 - Static internal IP 100.25.15.61 VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5911 Http: 5811 PC 2 - Static internal IP 100.25.15.62 VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5912 Http: 5812 On the Actiontec, I have upgraded the firmware to 3.20.3.3.5.0.9.1.5 Under Security - Applications I have applied the following rules PC1: 100.25.15.61 TCP Port Start: 5911 Port End: 5911 Port Map Start: 5911 TCP Port Start: 5811 Port End: 5811 Port Map Start: 5811 PC2: 100.25.15.62 TCP Port Start: 5912 Port End: 5912 Port Map Start: 5912 TCP Port Start: 5812 Port End: 5812 Port Map Start: 5812 I get the same result from each pc when I try to access from the WAN. I get the password prompt, it accepts the password, then goes black as it tries to load the desktop. Eventually it times out and disconnects. I know I'm close...! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bruce Sellnow [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [email protected] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
