Ping is a good start. If it does not work, you can also trace the route to see where it dies. I'm assuming you are using Windows; the syntax of trace route is (entered at a DOS prompt):
tracert xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the destination IP address. It will list the name of all the systems it goes through on it's way to the destination.

On computer A, click START button, choose Run..., type CMD, and hit ENTER Type ping 67.192.238.211 and hit enter. If it says 100% loss, try to connect both machines to internet at the same time or change your ISP. Try the same from the other machine too. but type ping 67.192.238.200. IP numbers on DialUp change so see whats current. //Agron Ronald Saa wrote: >Hello all, >Heres the situation: >2 stand-alone computers in a large room, >each with access to the internet. >I want to test VNC from one to another. > >Computer A logs onto the internet >(via ISP: MCI, dial-up 56K) >ipconfig: >67.192.238.200 >255.255.255.255 >67.192.238.200 > >Computer B logs onto the internet >(via ISP: MCI, dial-up 56K) >ipconfig: >67.192.238.211 >255.255.255.255 >67.192.238.211 > >Computer A runs VNC (usermode) server.(host) > >Computer B (client) tries to connect by running >VNC Viewer. >I enter the host IP (67.192.238.200) but get error: >"Attempting to Connect" window... >Then "Unable to connect to host: Connection timed out (10060)" > >I called MCI and they told me that their firewall >does not block any ports. >CORRECTION: >My account is a Dial-Up account, so they DO NOT use a firewall. > >Question: >What else could it be? > >Thanks in advance for any assistance. >Noni >_______________________________________________ >VNC-List mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To remove yourself from the list visit: >http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list [demime 0.99d.1 removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of agron.vcf] _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list _______________________________________________ VNC-List mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To remove yourself from the list visit: http://www.realvnc.com/mailman/listinfo/vnc-list
