Hi Dale, Many thanks for your email. I am now up and running :) All the best Mark -----Original Message----- From: Dale Eshelman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 14 February 2008 02:58 To: Mark Warren Subject: Re: VNC and Dyndns Not sure on this as I have not used a dyns address. However, i believe the two computers are referring to the same external IP address. Therefore, each computer needs to be set up in the router with port forwarding to different displays. VNC uses display 0 as the default and send through port 5900. Display 1 is port 5901 an so on. On the router (for the laptop 192.168.0.3) set up port forwarding to port 5901 and on the laptop set vnc to use display 1. On the router (for other computer 192.168.0.xx) set up port forwarding to port 5900 and on the coputer set vnc to use diplay 0. Should now work.
