3G

[James Weatherall]

Paul,

A lot of modern firewalls & routers come with ping disabled by default
(which is naughty).  Ping is not required to work for VNC to work.  If you
configured your router to forward port 5900 to your VNC server computer, and
connect to the router's public IP address from the laptop, all should work.

Cheers,
