Hi
Apologies if subect already covered but i am unable to find it.
I wish to support a relative who lives abroad via uvnc.
They run MS Vista, with Norton Internet Security on a laptop connected to a wireless router.
I run XP Pro connected to a wireless router.
What do I need to configure to get uvnc working?
-Windows Firewall Exceptions
-Router Firewall
-Port Forwarding
My other problem is that the relative is a 'dummy' on IT so it is impossible for them to do any configuration...... Am I stuck?

Connection over internet
Re: Connection over internet
tell them to install very basic uvnc server part only, or tell them to install free realvnc, or tightvnc server, etc.
send them in email, exactly what needs to be entered and exactly where/which button to press, etc to setup one of the vnc "server" software.
your instruction should be such, so that the "dummy" relative/friend's vnc server softwr should initiate/take outbound/reverse connection into ur vnc viewer computer.
if firewall pops up for permission, tell them to allow it.
when vnc "server" initiates outbound connection then you don't have to configure your "relative/friend" side router.
but you may have to open a port in your router, if you're using no online repeater.
