I installed and ran the VNC server and set up my Belkin router to forward port 5900 as follows:
Enable Description Inbound port Type Private IP Private port ------ ----------- ------------ ---- ----------- ------------ x RealVNC1 5900 - 5900 TCP 192.168.2.4 5900 - 5900 x RealVNC2 5900 - 5900 UDP 192.168.2.4 5900 - 5900 However when I go to: http://www.realvnc.com/cgi-bin/nettest.cgi I see this: The IP address requesting this web page is 71.141.142.96 Connecting to port 5900 ... failed. I tried pinging my ip address with the following results: -------------------------------------------------------- >ping 71.141.142.96 Pinging 71.141.142.96 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 71.141.142.96: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64 Reply from 71.141.142.96: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 Reply from 71.141.142.96: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 Reply from 71.141.142.96: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64 Ping statistics for 71.141.142.96: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds: Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 2ms, Average = 0ms -------------------------------------------------------- When I hover the mouse of the Vnc icon in the system tray, it says "VNC (Server) Service:192.168.2.4" Any clues why this could be happening? I've read all the directions dozens of times and it seems like I've done everything that is required. Thanks in advance for any ideas. (Sorry - ignore 1st post.
