Hi Steve,
How can I know this? How can I check my desktop PC address?.. I've tried
setting up the dynamic DNS and set it on my linksys and still nothing... I
think this last thing (My desktop having a different private address) could be
the real problem... How do I check that my linksys is not forwarding to my
desktop my system's IP.
Thanks for your help... I am very frustrated right now.. thanks,
I don't think that I am using the private IP address ... I am using the one
that my linksys provides me in the status field next to IP address field...
Like I said, inside the house I can log in from my laptop with the linksys
address mask 192.168.1.xxx, however it still gives me the timeout when I am
trying to connect with the real IP address...
When I open a DOS prompt to type telnet <ip_address> 5900 from the VNC server
I got the following error: ' Could not open connection to the host, on
port5900: Connect failed
Other than the VNC server... how can I look that my port 5900 is active?..
I don't know what else to do?...
Thanks,
Elmer Latorre

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
