Help: Connection Timeout (10060)

[Corazon Crema]

Hi Steve,
  I used to be able to conect from work to my home desktop... but for some reason I am not able to do it since yesterday.
  I tried to install VNC free edition again and try all the settings again and nothing. The day befor I was cleaning my desktop PC and was removing some sw from work that I haven't used in a long time (Via add and remove programs windows).
   
  I have Symantec antivirus, but I haven't changed this settings in years... and this was working before
   
  Regarding your question:
  >>Are you referring to the real IP as the WAN IP address?
  
>>You do not mention if it is a private address you are trying like 192.168.x.x
  This address is the one that my linksys provide and I don't have a problem connecting from another room in my house to that address... the VNC viewer from my laptop works with no problems.
>>or the public address that you can find from a site something like >>http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/getip.html
   
  This kind of address is the one that I am having trouble of connecting to. 
My IP address is static... it gets another IP address only when I turnoff my COMCAST Cable and my Router, then It will get a new IP address, but I do that very seldom (Maybe once or 2 every 6 months)
   
  How do I set up a dyndns.com client?...
   
  Thanks for your help.

and only answers that vncserver is running on that pc
which also does not answer if the pc has a firewall enabled
since it will usually accept connections from itself ;-)

what about your antivirus? a lot of AVs will block remote access 
software also.
are you running a software firewall like comodo or zone alarm?

Are you referring to the real IP as the WAN IP address?

You do not mention if it is a private address you are trying like 
192.168.x.x
or the public address that you can find from a site something like
http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/getip.html

sometimes the hardware firewalls will not allow connection out and back 
in to the

setting up a dyndns.com client may help you locate your system WAN IP 
address

did you adjust the rules on the linksys to forward connections
coming in to port 5900 to the IP address that is assigned to your desktop?
does your desktop have a static IP or does it get a dynamic private IP 
each time it reboots?
