Yes...I enter the router IP on the viewer which is on the laptop....But Can't connect. I thought maybe that since the laptop is in effect behind a proxy as it is connecting through a wifi system, that the wifi system is changing the laptop IP...This is so, but after we entered this new ip into the server, still no luck....have a sense that the problem rests with the fact that the laptop is new...new version of windows xp, as I see some writings about java not supplied by Microsoft but maybe needed???? Dont know what this means but maybe a clue?? Bill ----- Original Message ----- From: "Angelo Sarto" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Bill,

See my earlier email for more info, but the issue is that your hard wired
desktops are behind a router or firewalled internet connection.
The IP you need to type in on the laptop is the Public IP of your home
computers. To see what this ip is visit the IPinfo site or
www.whatismyip.com------on the Desktop.

You need to tell the viewer program where the desktop is so you need its IP.
Since the desktop's IP is like that of the laptop on wifi its not the one
displayed in network neighborhood or by doing IP config, rather it is the IP
of the router.

In order for you to connect through the router you need to set up a port
forward for port 5900.

I can help you more if this still doesn't make sense.....

No, not someone else's access point...my access point....Here's
clarification...

I have a small two desktop network hard wired. Also have a laptop that I
travel with which has a 802.11g card installed. I want to connect to a
wifi
signal with the laptop to access the internet...at McDonalds for example,
and use REALVNC to view one of the desktops. Connecting to the internet is no problem, but I have yet to be able to view the desktop where VNC server
is installed. I think I have tried every combination of IP's
possible...including going to IPinfo site to get the IP of my laptop while
I
am connected to a wifi signal..which will look like a different ip than
the
actual laptops IP....but still no luck....any suggestions....greatly
appreciated...Bill
