how to see remote computer on my pc

Post by tester22 »

hi guys i already install UltraVNC_1.0.9.6_Setup on my win xp pc as a ultravnc viewer. then i install ultravnc on my friend winxp pc as ultravnc server & i got the ip address of my friend pc, as well as i select port :5900 in properties.

now i came to my home and click on ultravnc viewer, and enter ipaddress, when i click on connect it shows error like failed to connect.

so i like to know what are the settings i have to do on ultravnc server computer in properties to see remotely on my pc.

the same ultravnc is working fine with in the same network,. So i need your help to connect remotely.

thanks for your answers

You need to forward a port or two on your friend's router. This is covered in multiple places in the FAQ, the documentation, this forum, and elsewhere. Briefly: At his router you forward port 5900 to the LOCAL PRIVATE IP address (e.g., 192.168.2.5) of his machine, and then when connecting remotely you connect VNC Viewer to his PUBLIC IP address (the one held by his router).
