shobuz99... as far as i know, mirc has nothing to do with ip addresses.i'm assuming this is the mirc that's used to communicate with the irc channels...
as far as the vncsetup, before you even get there, you need to be able to find/ping the ip address of the machine that has vnc, which means you need to be able to ping the router and/or the machine in question. -can you ping the router -can you ping the pc/machine -does the router have port forwarding setup so it allows the port in question to be forwarded to the actual machine in question once you've verified that you can communicate/ping with the targeted machine, then you can setup vnc with no issue... let us know your progress.. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shobuz99 Sent: Sunday, August 06, 2006 9:34 AM To: vnc-list@realvnc.com Subject: VNC and mIRC 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 Pinging 12.42.238.220 with 32 bytes of data: Reply from 12.119.154.26: Destination net unreachable. Reply from 12.125.130.154: Destination net unreachable. Reply from 12.119.155.42: Destination net unreachable. Reply from 12.125.130.154: Destination net unreachable. Ping statistics for 12.42.238.220: Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss), 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. Shobuz99 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
