I have a question:
My desktop at home is with a LinkSys Wireles and a Comcast cable service and I installed VNC free edition. This was setup as the VNC server
I have my laptop setup as my VNC viewer... When I use the IP that linksys provides, I can connect without any problem from my laptop... However when I am trying to do it with the real IP address, I am getting Connection Timeout...I need to connect to the real IP address to be able to connect to my desktop from home...
I did a Telnet Ip-Address 5900 from the DOS prompt and got failure to connect.
Then I did telnet 127.0.0.1 5900 and got that message RFB 003 (following instructions of an old archive mail) meaning that I was running in the correct server
Then I went to the windows firewall and it's off. I went to the exceptions tab and vnc server for win32 was checked.
What else do i need?
Thanks
