Symantec Anti virus definitely Blocks
VNC check your rules if it has the personal firewall enabled
sounds like your desktop PC May have a different private address inside
and your linksys
is not forwarding to the desktop system's IP
Especially since you can connect from inside
I am ASSUMING you re using the private address Since you don't say that

Hi Steve,
I used to be able to conect from work to my home desktop... but for some
reason I am not able to do it since yesterday.
I tried to install VNC free edition again and try all the settings again and
nothing. The day befor I was cleaning my desktop PC and was removing some sw
from work that I haven't used in a long time (Via add and remove programs
windows).
I have Symantec antivirus, but I haven't changed this settings in years... and this was working before
Regarding your question:
>>Are you referring to the real IP as the WAN IP address?
You do not mention if it is a private address you are trying like 192.168.x.x
This address is the one that my linksys provide and I don't have a problem
connecting from another room in my house to that address... the VNC viewer from
my laptop works with no problems.
or the public address that you can find from a site something like
>>http://personal.nbnet.nb.ca/getip.html
This kind of address is the one that I am having trouble of connecting to.
My IP address is static... it gets another IP address only when I turnoff my COMCAST Cable and my Router, then It will get a new IP address, but I do that very seldom (Maybe once or 2 every 6 months)
How do I set up a dyndns.com client?...
Thanks for your help.

and only answers that vncserver is running on that pc
which also does not answer if the pc has a firewall enabled
since it will usually accept connections from itself ;-)
what about your antivirus? a lot of AVs will block remote access
software also.
are you running a software firewall like comodo or zone alarm?
Are you referring to the real IP as the WAN IP address?

sometimes the hardware firewalls will not allow connection out and back
in to the
setting up a dyndns.com client may help you locate your system WAN IP
address
did you adjust the rules on the linksys to forward connections
coming in to port 5900 to the IP address that is assigned to your desktop?
does your desktop have a static IP or does it get a dynamic private IP
each time it reboots?

I have a question:
My desktop at home is with a LinkSys Wireles and a Comcast cable service and I
installed VNC free edition. This was setup as the VNC server
I have my laptop setup as my VNC viewer... When I use the IP that linksys
provides, I can connect without any problem from my laptop... However when I am
trying to do it with the real IP address, I am getting Connection Timeout...I
need to connect to the real IP address to be able to connect to my desktop from
home...
I did a Telnet Ip-Address 5900 from the DOS prompt and got failure to connect.
Then I did telnet 127.0.0.1 5900 and got that message RFB 003 (following
instructions of an old archive mail) meaning that I was running in the correct
server
Then I went to the windows firewall and it's off. I went to the exceptions tab
and vnc server for win32 was checked.
What else do i need?
Thanks
