Win 98se and ME use ICS as a nat server. By default install it blocks the
netbios ports of 137-139 and blocks all ports over 1024 on the interface
connected to the Internet.

You need to add a port mapping to your registry for ICS to allow the VNC
ports of 590x and 580x (if you use the java).
This can be achieved via an .inf file or a .reg file.
see next link for info on INF.

Or you can simply copy between my ##SNIP## and save this to a file called
vnc.reg.
Then double click on it to merge with your reg.
Note this file will open port 5900 and 5800.

Subject: VNC over works over LAN but not Internet
I have a small home network consisting of Windows millenium doing the
internet sharing and some other windows 98 machines. The windows ME machine
has two network cards, one for the LAN and one to connect to my cable modem.
I would like to run WinVNC on this computer so that it can be accessed over
the internet. However when someone tries to connect to VNC over the
internet it simply doesn't work. However it does work internally over the
LAN. Does this mean VNC is only listening to one of the network cards and
not the one that is connecting it to the internet? I can not understand why
it isn't working. Has anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Jon Smith.
