UltraVNC

The user reads the IP address from the DSL router.

I use port forwarding on the router. Port 5901 gets forwarded to 5900 on one machine, while 5900 goes straight through to another machine.

If I lower the firewall, then all of this works perfectly well.

Also, I opened 5800 and 5801 for good measure. Still no dice.

There is NO software firewall installed. There is only the firewall on the DSL router.

Ports 5900 and 5901 are open, but VNC is still blocked.

Howdy - - I opened ports 5900 and 5901 on my router, but VNC is still blocked. I have to use the "Low" setting (not necessarily "Off") in order to let VNC through. Is there something else I need to open besides 5900 and 5901? I opened 5901 because I'm using port forwarding to find a second computer ...

"No password has been set & this machine has been preconfigured to prevent users from setting their own.
You must contact a System Administrator to configure WinVNC properly."

Does anyone know how to fix this?
