FWAG114 and UltraVNC

Post by CGhoST »

Hi Everyone

I have an unusual problem. I just recently purchased a Netgear FWAG114 and using it with an ADSL modem.

Before this i was using a Netgear DG814 and everything was working fine. Now that i have configured it correctly it doesn't want to work properly.

This is what is happening. If i connect from home to work computer remotely (work computer also on a FWAG114) it works fine. I can see the work computers screen and use it as normal.

But if i connect from work to the home computer it asks for password and connects/logs in fine but i get no screen of the home computer. Just a black screen. I have not changed any configuration at work at all so it should be working.

If i remove the FWAG114 and put back the DG814 it works fine again. I am totally confused as to whats wrong.

Has anyone else had such a problem? How can i please resolve this to work with the FWAG114?

very interesting about black screen
maybe firmware bug of your new FWAG114 ?
basic question of top the thread:
what is your Operating System ? service pack ?
UltraVNC RC?? service or application ?
UltraVNC 1.0.9.6.1 (built 20110518)
OS Win: xp home + vista business + 7 home

Sorry .. should have mentioned this earlier.

I am using windows XP professional with SP2 and all updates.

UltraVNC RC18

Don't have any virus scanner or software firewall installed.

This problem has stumped me as well especially when it worked with the DG814 and not working with the FWAG114 in one direction only. Ans it has has the same setup as the DG814!

If it was a bug then the office router would not be working either when that actually works both ways when i had the DG814 installed. I do not understand whats going on.

Netgear support is helpless because they don't help with softare configurations!

have you verified that both routers are on the same firmware?
If not check that first.

you say it works from home to work - meaning to me that everything port forwarding / firewalling / proxy does work.

But from work to home port forwarding / firewalling / proxy starts to communicate but then fails. And if you remove the current router and put back in place your old one it works again.

It definately looks like a router issue. Either it be the forwarding or firewalling or something like that internal to the new router but it seems you got one to work but no the other..
