Mike, Any firewalls running on the client computer? Including Win XP SP2 firewall? If so, disable them...look for Norton while you're at it as well since there's a firewall in some of their software versions.

If you have a static public IP, then you are correct about not needing to use a dynamic dns service. Do you have a router or just a DSL/cable router? Either way, some dsl/cable modems are actually acting as routers and the same thing applies in many cases. If you have a router, is it configured to forward your 5900 port to your PC's internal IP? If you use a router, do you have your PC configured (in Network Settings - LAN card - TCP/IP) to use a static internal IP or does it get it from the router/modem's DHCP? Regards.

I'm attempting to connect to the modems IP not the machines IP which, if I understand is the correct thing to do. How do I set up a dynamic dns service. I have a static IP address is that what you mean?

Double check that you're trying to connect to the correct IP from the client side. Did you set up a dynamic dns service? Arthur I've stopped 83,729 spam and fraud messages. You can too!

But I still cannot connect remotely. Does the message above mean that my firewall is configured incorrectly?
