Hi all

I posted a question about this a few days ago and I am half way there to
fixing this. I have installed REALVNC on my computer (XP home). I have two
computers setup at home in a workgroup which shares a router. I managed to
access my computer from the other computer downstairs, using realvnc. However
I can't access it from outside my workgroup network. I have put realvnc in my
exceptions in the Winfirewall. I have also set the port on 5900. However I am
sure it has something to do with my IP adress. It comes up with 10.0.0.1,
which I am sure is an internal IP address with the number 10 being the
network. The second computer is 10.0.0.2.

I use Realvnc at work a lot and they all have XP pro, however I want to
acess my home computer wih any computer with realvnc.

Any help?

Luke

Configure the router to forward port 5900 to the computer's internal
IP address. For more information:

Note that the RealVNC company recommends using RealVNC Personal
Edition, not the free edition, when connecting to your computer over
the Internet:

Another possibility is to use free RealVNC through an encrypted SSH
tunnel, as described here:
