Sounds like you'll need to setup a static IP for the linksys like
192.168.0.60 192.168.0.linksysWANip
Setup the LAN of linksys uses a different range for LAN like 192.168.1.1
try not to use the same range for the linksys as the comcast modem has
linksys may use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 slips my mind right now
Portforward incoming through Comcast to linksys
port 5900 - > 192.168.0.linksysWANip
which linksys then will forward to desktop
Sounds like you'll need to setup a static IP for the Desktop 192.168.1.100
Portforward incoming through linksys to Desktop
port 5900 - > 192.168.1.100
Its easy enough to do; have it on a few of my double triple firewall systems
comcats uses 192.168.0.1 for internal gateway
Setup the WAN of linksys uses a Static IP 192.168.0.50
[192.168.0.linksysWANip]
dyndns has a configuration to not use certain external ip numbers or ranges
ensure both internals are in the don't use list
;-)

Yeah.. everything looks correct... when I use 192.168.1.100 from my
VNC viewer inside my house there is no problem, connection to the
server is ok... when I tried with the real IP address 98.207.xxx.xxx
it keeps giving me the timeout, I've disabled all firewalls...
I don't know if this will help... 2 weeks ago I've updgraded my
COMCAST modem to another modem that will be used for COMCAST Digital
voice (telephone) could this new modem have some kind of firewall?..
if so, how can I check it.
This was working ok before... I was able to put the real IP address
and connect from work, but the last days are being a pain and I can
not connect .
I don't know what else to do?

how to Check IP Address:
Internal Desktop Windows PC
Start -> run -> AllPrograms -> Accessories -> CommandPrompt
at the command prompt type
ipconfig
shows you desktop IP 192.168.1.100
your gateway [linksys Ip] 192.168.1.1
option two: [simple controlpanel]
Control Panel -> network and internet connections
click icon at bottom of window right column saying Network
Connections
Right Click Local Area connection -> Choose Status
click second TAB for Support
will display same info as above

Hi Steve,
How can I know this? How can I check my desktop PC address?..
I've tried setting up the dynamic DNS and set it on my linksys
and still nothing... I think this last thing (My desktop having a
different private address) could be the real problem... How do I
check that my linksys is not forwarding to my desktop my system's IP.
Thanks for your help... I am very frustrated right now.. thanks,
I don't think that I am using the private IP address ... I am
using the one that my linksys provides me in the status field
next to IP address field...
Like I said, inside the house I can log in from my laptop with
the linksys address mask 192.168.1.xxx, however it still gives me
the timeout when I am trying to connect with the real IP address...
When I open a DOS prompt to type telnet <ip_address> 5900 from
the VNC server I got the following error: ' Could not open
connection to the host, on port5900: Connect failed
Other than the VNC server... how can I look that my port 5900 is
active?..
I don't know what else to do?...

Symantec Anti virus definitely Blocks
VNC check your rules if it has the personal firewall enabled
sounds like your desktop PC May have a different private
address inside
and your linksys
is not forwarding to the desktop system's IP
Especially since you can connect from inside
I am ASSUMING you re using the private address Since you
don't say that

when I turnoff my COMCAST Cable and my Router, then It will
get a new IP address, but I do that very seldom (Maybe once
or 2 every 6 months)
