I recently tried to get to me servers from the outside. I can get to the pc is behind the firewall plugged into the router. But I can not get to the wireless ones connected through an access point that is wired to the router. I am using a netgear 302 access point.

Anyone come accross a similar problem

only if you dont have the port forwarded to the server using the wireless network.

If you have port 5900 open to computer A you must open a Unique port to computer B. E.g. 5901 - computer B.

If you are trying to use the same port and IP for both computers it wont work.

IF you have the port forwarding to computer B which is unique. The question to ask is - is that computer running a Firewall or does it have XPSP2? If yes you must allow the port you specified (5901 in my example) to get into that computer. Otherwise it dies.

Because you have a wireless connection there is no difference if you have it "networked" properly. Meaning it can see other computers on the network and vise-versa. TCP/IP is the common thread here and it matters not how you are connected as long as that protocol is working properly.

I have the port forwarding like the examples in the group.

5900 going to 192.168.1.10 XPS2 machine wired (works)
5901 - .11 XPS2 machine wireless (no go)
5902 - .12 XPS1 machine wireless (no go)

All of them work internally using the static ip with the appropriate port number it is only outside that the wireless ones fail.

Keith -

Please dont take this the wrong way.

If you work on your internal lan with the ports from the wired to wireless or wireless to wireless..

The ONLY thing that is different by connecting to the outside internet is one of the following things -
1)Your router is not properly forwarding the ports.
2)Your port is open on your router but your firewall is blocking access to anything not originating on your LAN.

Please check your ports by going to -

click proceed if you agree. then click user specified port.
specifying the port and it will tell you if it is open or not.

Thanks,

I figured it out. I moved 5900 over to one of my wireless computers and it worked fine.

It came back to my wireless ISP blocking all ports. When I asked him to unblock 5900 and 5800 I was thinking the whole bank, he was thinking only 5800 and 5900. I had him remove the block on the rest I was using and it works fine.

This is a really great program. My computer life just got so much simpler.

Great!! Im glad you could figure it out -

I try not to be condescending but sometimes it comes out wrong.. so I always try to put disclaimers where I think I could be misunderstood. Sometimes I take for granted the stuff I know as a network guy.
