Running XP pro sp2

VNC server seems to run OK [as service]

My router is setup up to forward ports 5800 & 5900 as specified in faqs [router is Netgear.

The viewer fails to run - 'cannot connect to server'.

I have in the past got this to work - I can't remember how.

I'm running out of ideas here.

I'm trying to use SC to allow users to connect to me so that I can assist them remotely.

Any ideas, please?

Cheers!


Mike

port usage of 5900 (direct connection aka direct call)
vncviewer ---> internet ---> vnc server
5900 is for outgoing connection from vncviewer to vnc server
vnc server side need open port 5900 on their NAT/firewall


---------------------------

port usage of 5500 (inverse connection aka call back)
vncviewer <--- internet <--- SC, vnc server

5500 is for vnc viewer listening incoming connection from vnc server, SC
vnc viewer side need open port 5500 on their NAT/firewall router

vncviewer -listen = vncviewer -listen 5500
