I have a general question for anyone of the VNC users
here. Does anyone have experience using VNC as a
server with mIRC installed on one of the computers
that connected to the same router? I'm asking this
badly, and I apologize for my poor explanation.
A friend of mine wishes to use VNC, in some form, i.e.
ultra, tight, realvnc,winvnc, etc. to monitor his
office machine while he's away. His office machine is
one of the boxes on a router (linksys wrt54gc) sharing
the router with a box that is setup with mIRC and what
seems to be a 'ghost' IP config.
I have tried to help him connect, remotely, to his
office box using VNC. I have forwarded ports 5500,
5800, and 5900 in his setup on the Linksys router. For
some reason, we cannot connect. We get a "timed-out"
error, no matter what port we choose.
When I ping his external IP, the return message is:
C:\>ping 12.42.238.220

Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
As you can see, the external address is NOT the one
that appears in the replies. I suspect that mIRC is
creating the
external IP as a 'ghost' IP.
I'm not sure that is true, but am perplexed how to
connect to his server using VNC, if the IP is not the
real external IP.
Does anyone have any experience with this?
I have looked through the previous VNC digests that I
saved,
and I have google'd this several times with no luck.
I appreciate any suggestions anyone may have.
