I assume that if it works with the ip address then the above must be correctly set? I did have trouble with the original ports on the remote router. The default ports on the VNC services for the remote netgear router default to 5500, and I could not get through. Using a manually added service with ports 5900 resolved this so now I can connect using ip address. Yet putting "johnsmith.homedns.org" into my the VNC Server name window in the connection details popup still produces the error "failed to get server address". Norman.
