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
