Message: [QUOTE="Sooner Al [MVP], post: 5590174"] Well, it comes down to a router and port forwarding issue... What router? With that information perhaps someone can help with specific instructions... [URL]http://www.portforward.com/routers.htm[/URL] To test this you must be using a remote PC and *NOT* a local PC calling the public IP of the router. Are you running the newest firmware in the router? Have you tried a power off/on reset of the router? Are you calling the correct public IP of the router? Have you tried the [URL]http://www.canyouseeme.org[/URL] test from the XP PC for both TCP Port 3389 (RDP) and TCP Port 5900 (VNC)? Does the test report the correct static IP for the router (as assigned by your ISP)? If you get a timeout then its back to the router issue... -- Al Jarvi (MS-MVP Windows Networking) Please post *ALL* questions and replies to the news group for the mutual benefit of all of us...
