Hello Chris, et al
RE: http://www.mail-archive.com/vnc-list@realvnc.com/msg24978.html
I have the same problem Chris listed here, but I think I need a few more
specifics. What ports are needed to forward? I had this working fine on my
old router with cable internet, but this Actiontec is not very user
friendly. Anyway, do we have to forward 5500, 5800, and 5900? And did you
have to set it for tcp AND udp?
My setup is that I have two pc's that I need to access. (false IP's listed
here for reference)
Static IP from ISP 175.152.15.67
Internal Static IP's 100.25.15.61 & 100.25.15.62
Old Setup with Netgear Wireless Router
Port Forward: 5911 to 100.25.15.61:5911
PC1 VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5911
Port Forward: 5912 to 100.25.15.62:5912
PC2 VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5912
So VNC Viewer access from the WAN was simply 175.152.15.67:5911 or
175.152.15.67:5912
Worked great.
New Router: Actiontec GT704-WGv2
Current problem: VNC internally works fine. Right now, accessing from the
WAN, I can get a password prompt from VNC, it accepts my password, then the
screen goes black as it's 'loading' but never completes. It eventually times
out and disconnects. So I know I am close but don't have *everything* quite
right.
PC 1 - Static internal IP 100.25.15.61
VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5911 Http: 5811
PC 2 - Static internal IP 100.25.15.62
VNC Server set to (*) Ports Main: 5912 Http: 5812
On the Actiontec, I have upgraded the firmware to 3.20.3.3.5.0.9.1.5
Under Security - Applications I have applied the following rules
PC1: 100.25.15.61
TCP Port Start: 5911 Port End: 5911 Port Map Start: 5911
TCP Port Start: 5811 Port End: 5811 Port Map Start: 5811
PC2: 100.25.15.62
TCP Port Start: 5912 Port End: 5912 Port Map Start: 5912
TCP Port Start: 5812 Port End: 5812 Port Map Start: 5812
I get the same result from each pc when I try to access from the WAN. I get
the password prompt, it accepts the password, then goes black as it tries to
load the desktop. Eventually it times out and disconnects. I know I'm
close...!
