Hi Steve,
That did the trick, thanks for the portforward pages...
My question is... what has changed behind the scenes that from one day to
another my dynamin IP address was not able to recognize my external IP address
and I needed to create an static IP address?
More questions, what is the down side of having an static IP address??
will I have some side effects to my internet connection?... will my connection
be any slower? what are the advantages of having an static IP address versus a
dynamic IP address and viceversa ...
Thanks,
Elmer Latorre

Sounds like you'll need to setup a static IP for the linksys like
192.168.0.60 192.168.0.linksysWANip
Setup the LAN of linksys uses a different range for LAN like 192.168.1.1
try not to use the same range for the linksys as the comcast modem has
linksys may use 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.2.1 slips my mind right now
Portforward incoming through Comcast to linksys
port 5900 - > 192.168.0.linksysWANip
which linksys then will forward to desktop
Sounds like you'll need to setup a static IP for the Desktop 192.168.1.100
Portforward incoming through linksys to Desktop
port 5900 - > 192.168.1.100
Its easy enough to do; have it on a few of my double triple firewall systems
comcats uses 192.168.0.1 for internal gateway
Setup the WAN of linksys uses a Static IP 192.168.0.50
[192.168.0.linksysWANip]
dyndns has a configuration to not use certain external ip numbers or ranges
ensure both internals are in the don't use list
;-)
