Yes, you need to give the port number (which would be 5800, not 5900). Some NAT devices may not do port forwarding from inside the lan, try from a machine on the internet side. > I'm assuming that when I do the GOTOMYVNC and get the result as > such, > it means I can connect to my computer via the router.

GOTOMYVNC only checks the RFB port (default the 5900-5910 range, IIRC), not the HTTP port for serving the java applet (5800+display number). In order to use the java applet you need both ports open (5800,5900 or 5801,5901, etc). -- William Hooper _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
