Thanks John
Ive tried it again going back through everything and Ive used the default
port of 5900. For security I wanted to use 1650 (randomly picked as
something I would remember) but it only works on 5900 even though setting it
within the NAT tables the same as 5900. Anyway, it works again localy but
correct me if Im being stupid. I want to test it externally. I would just
simply type my external IP into the connection string ie a.b.c.d:5900 and
that would enable me to remote to my local machine but via my ISP...is that
right??? It seems logical but I might be missing something. If it is right
then why Im I getting still a connection refused.
My D-Link Config;
Name Private IP Protocol
Schedule
VNCServer 192.168.0.151 TCP 5900/5900 always
My Voyager Config;
NAT Rule - Detail
NAT Rule Information
Rule ID: 1
Rule Flavor: Virtual Server
IF Name: ALL
Protocol: ANY
Local Address From: 192.168.0.151
Local Address To: 192.168.0.151
Global Address From: 0.0.0.0
Global Address To: 0.0.0.0
Destination Port From: 5900
Destination Port To: 5900
Local Port: 5900
PS: I only need to remote onto 1 pc 192.168.0.151 so the other 2 on
the network are disallowed for remote desktop anyway.
Thanks
James

Hi james:
You need to put a pat entry into your router to forward any connection on
5900 to the internal ip of the xp machine. If you. Want to connect to
several differnt machines behind the router, you need to assign each one a
static ip (do not use dhcp) and set the vnc server on the first to 5900,
vnc server on the second to 5901, etc. In the router you then put in PAT
entries for 5900 to the first pc, 5901 for ther seconf etc.
Now, from the internert, if you real ip is say a.b.c.d, the to connect to
the first pc you vnc to a.b.c.d::5900, to connect to the second,
a.b.c.d::5901, etc.
Getthe idea?
Cheers,
John

Hi list
Im not getting any further forward with remote desktop or this realVNC.
Both
just refuse connection from the host when I try to connect with the
client. I
can ping my machine's external IP address but I cant seem to get it to
connect
at all "Connection Refused".
I have a voyager 205 modem connected via Ethernet cable to my D-Link
DI-624
wireless router. On the other side of that I have a small 3 workstation
network which Ive setup to share files between myself and my fathers pc
using
the centre one as a kind of server (not build with server os just windows
xp
pro) This is the one Im trying to remote onto while outside the network
(ie
around my girlfriends).
Ive tried to set the d-link and the voyager 205 to have a DMZ for this
central
computers internal IP but still cant see it on the outside. Ive allowed
port
the ports through and still nothing. I did find something interesting,
when I
turned off Zone Alarm (free edition) the request took longer as if it got
further but still no luck.
If I wanted to talk to a computer on the outside and I write it into my
NAT
table on the voyager 205 I thought that that pc would be allowed to
communicate. That didnt work either. Internally everything is fine I can
use
Windows Remote Desktop Connection as well as RealVNC no problem although
the
speed is pathetic on RealVNC compared to WinRDC.
These are all windows XP pc's and my girlfriend has Vista (Which is really
bad
by the way, cant move the mouse without it asking if the mouse is ok to
move!)
Any suggestions or help on this. Im not sure whats up but I cant seem to
find
a good website that will scan my ports and check whats going on from the
outside.
Cheers
James
