I am new and have been trying to get VNC to access my home computer (WIN XP) from work (WIN XP). I am on cable at home (RoadRunner) and have been messing with my Linksys 4 port router to get it working with VNC. The bottom line is, if you have a Linksys BFESR41 (I think that's the model number) router software says to DISABLE DHCP to get port forwarding to work; that is wrong! What I did is enable port 5900 as that is the port VNC looks at, set my VNC machine outside of the range of IP's that DHCP will assign and add the DNS data. Once that is done, and you have enabled port forwarding on 5900, things work. What is going on is that I have established my home machine as a "static" IP forwarded to port 5900. The other machines are still on DHCP from the router.
Thanks all for he help here! Tony --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com).
