Hi Paul, VNC doesn't use UDP, so you don't need a rule for that.
You may wish to check which port your VNC Server is accepting connections on, and that the private IP address you're specifying is definitely correct. I assume you're visiting the nettest.cgi script from a browser on the server computer, not the viewer, of course... :) Cheers, Wez @ RealVNC Ltd. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of -Paul > Sent: 09 May 2006 11:19 > To: vnc-list@realvnc.com > Subject: Re: Port 5900 does not respond > > 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.
