Should repeater work regardless of router?

[joe avarage]

I have been setting a repeater at my home. I've set a repeater at one computers and a pchelp server there also. Basically I want to connect to that computer from hotels, internet cafe's etc. I have a dynamic ip but a dyndns service is taking care of the ip changing.

I've test run the system from computer at home and connection works great. Then I went to and free wifi WLAN arean and tried to connect from there with no success. Internet worked ok. What could be the problem? Could it be that certain traffic is blocked on public wlans? I tried ftp connection without any luck either from the internet cafe.

I suppose your repeater is using the default setting, so the connecting port for viewer is 5901. Have you made the port forwarding at router?

If you are able to control the router (to config the port forwarding), installing UltraVNC to that computer (and run it as service) should be a better method to remote access it.

I've set the port forwarding on the home router. I think it should work since my clients have Pchelpware with direct connection set and they all work fine. When a client has a pc question they run pchelper server (direct connection) that I've sent them and I run the viewer at my end. Everything works fine. Occasionally I've used a public repeater which has worked OK too.

My question was that when testing at the internet cafe I was not able to connect. I believe they had some sort of system that prevents this type of net connection as I had no luck running Filezilla there also. It is just my assumption.

some wireless router block the bridge between LAN for security purpose.

If I'm the boss of an internet cafe, I will block those unnecessary ports.... for security purpose.

But they must not block the port 80 and 443, if you didn't run a web server at your home, you may try to have your repeater listen on 80/443 (viewer port), and see if you can make connection from an internet cafe.

But they may block the signal if their firewall inspecting the protocol.... or their network using a proxy setting but you don't aware ....
Too much factors ......
