VNC over TDC and A TRENDNET TEW-431 - Problem over the Internet.
Hi ...Jeg håber I vil bære overm emd mig fordig jeg poster det her på engelsk .. Det er for en af min venner der ikke snakker dansk og jeg håbede at undgå at skulle oversæte det.
I have a TEW-431 BRP where I am running 2 wireless computers on the Internet. One Desktop and one Laptop.
I have set up Real VNC so I can control the Desktop over the LAN when I am sitting in the livingroom and the desktop is in the office. This works.
I now want to set Real VNC up so I can access and control the desktop over the Internet so I can actually help my kids or my wife when I am out travelling for my company / job.
The problem is that it does not work when I am trying over the Internet.
I am using a ADSL line where NO logon is needed - It is always open.
When I am accessing www.myip.dk or looking in "REMOTE ADMINISTRATION" in the Router I am seing that my Internet adress is 87.xx.xx.xxx.
I am not an expert of this but I assume that this is the IP of the router .. Not the actualt 2 maschines I have on the LAN
On the LAN the ROUTER has xxx.xxx.x.xx the desktop has xxx.xxx.x.xx and I cannot remember what the Laptop has.
Then I have forwarded the PORTS 5500, 5800 and 5900 to the desktop (xxx.xxx.x.xx) in the setup of the ROUTER both TCP and UDP. These are the ports that VNC are using.
Then I tryed to take over the control of the DESKTOP when was not home, by accessing the 87.xx.xxx.xxx IP Adress and was expecting the router to forward the request from VNC to the Desktop as I have set it up but I do not get any response - This Failed.
I then tried to PING the 87.xx.xxx.xxx over the internet and I do not get a response - Timeout on the request. And I have set the router up so i SHOULD answer these pings. (There is an option)
SO.. My question is..... what am I doing wrong ....??? It would be a HUGE help if you could help me here - I am sure that it is something easy that I have overlooked, as I am not a very good expert on Internet and LAN's ...
I can also say that I am running Windows XP on both computers and the firewall in XP on the desktop is NOT activated.
Thanks in advance for the help
