Thanks. I never even thought ICS would be a problem, and didn't search on
it. Opening the ports in the registry solved the probloem. Sorry I had to
be bitchy to get a response, but it was what I needed.

Probably due to the sheer number of issues that pop up with Win98SE and
Internet Connection Sharing (ICS), and people being tired. When the second
adapter was added, ICS may have been added. ICS is a masquerading firewall
type system, and can cause all kinds of problems. If you don't need ICS, I
suggest making sure it is not installed. If you do need it, I suggest
looking at the mailing list archive as about 10 people went through the
cycle of solving ICS problems last month.
Second thought. WinVNC must bind to a particular adapter when it starts.
If it binds to your local 192.168.x.x adapter, it will be invisible to the
outside world. Since 192.168.x.x is unroutable (and since the server is
not on your externally visible address), external connections can't get to
it. I think I had to deal with this. Can't remember if it was a registry
setting or if I had to set my external adapter's TCP/IP protocol to "be the
default protocol" under the Windows Network Settings. If WinVNC binds to
the external adapter, then external connections will work, and internal
connections will work as long as you use the external address. I don't
know if WinVNC can be built to bind ports on all available adapters
(requires separate connection listening for each adapter)
Dunno if that helps...
