| I'm using a program called VNC to connect to my dad's computer which is 200 miles but it just not respond.. now we both have XP MCE PC's mine is behind a BT Voyager 2000 router and he is behind a NTL modem & a US robotics router.
with both router firewalls and Zone Alarm (on both machines switched off just to make sure that they are not affecting the process). i still cannot log onto is PC now does anyone have any suggestions as what i can try to see what the problem is?
Do i need to do port forwarding on the routers??
Is there likely to be a firewall on his NTL modem?
or is there any other programs that i could try (tried the windows version and that is crap).
TIA
I may be shit, but i'm enjoying myself !!!

| | Try this link - you're definately going to have to look into port forwarding: http://realvnc.com/support/portforward.html

| Hi m8, i use RealVnc used it for long time to check my downloads on my pc etc from my laptop upstairs with my xbox. I just put in my internal IP address/hostname and password i created and then i can control my pc, check my downloads etc. It is bit slow moving the mouse but works great, been using it for long time. I used to use it on my dad before to see what hes looking at on the internet, does shock you sometimes  I havent used any port forwarding and i dont use a router firewall, just my Norton 360 firewall instead.
