VNC problems... error 10061
 

Ya... when I try and connect to my comp at home, I get a 10061 error.
I have it on accept connections thru port 5900, and when I punch in my VNC adress, then :5900, I still get the error. Im at school, behind a bess filter, but I didn't figure that would stop me. Any suggestions?

forward the port correctly.

are you perchance entering 192.168.x.x?

you need to go to www.whatismyip.com to find out what IP to put in.

yea.. vnc = leet.. if it's at school, they may have that port blocked completely

use RD they dont block it since they disable it.. search on your computer for files starting with mtsc and copy them to a cd or usb drive and use it at school

what else is on those files? Sounds like a security risk to me...

just the remote desktop client

they remove it sometimes

look on your own comp if you have Pro

oh.. makes sense that it wasn't there on this 2k comp lol.. yea i'll check at home..

the bastards have the remote desktop stuff deleted. DAMN THEM!!!!
DAMN MY FRENCH TEACHER TOO!!!(Sorry needed to rant a little, my french teacher is the worst teacher on earth)

:cry: my french class is impossible... we had a quiz where not a single person got above a B-... what a buncha bullshit

hello? did you not listen to me?

On your home computer search for any files labeled MTSC and xfer them to your school

in othew news: I tried unsuccessfully to VNC onto my work computer from home.. I just entered the IP, what else do I need?

Oh forgot bout that. :lol: heh... so do I just punch my IP into remote desktop at school and it'll connect to home? Also, will someone at home be able to tell if I am remote desktopped? My mom'd flip if she knew I was doing this kinda stuff... *she's an anti-computer nutcase* K i opened remote desktop(im at home) and was pokin round, it had a thing about domain and password? Would I need that to connect to my comp frfom school? Thanks

well the comp was on and locked, and it usually works even when it's locked. I've never seen vnc work outside of the same network...

lets clear this up
 

I ue to be a network manager in a school about 3 yrs back so heres the low down on RD and VNC:

Internally many of these ports will be allowed. But unless the school fills in a chnage control form then externall BESS or SWGFL will not allow anything other than FTP 21 HTTP 80,8080. Even if they open 3398 for RD / term services of the VNC port(s) it will be restricted to one or several interanl ip addresses. If the school has a sensibile IT policy then these will no not accessable to you!

VNC does work if if you configure ans use it properly, i have a win2k srv box with a fixed ip @ home and i rin VNC on this works a treat, i also run terminal serivces over 3398 which works fine.

Typo? RDP uses 3389.

another way is to use something like a port 80 redirect, u can get one from no-ip.com (only works for java viewer, make url point at 5800). but apparently, all port blockings at my school have miraculously disapeared and i can use vnc completly without having to use that. tis strange no?

realVNC connection dilema
 

I am having a problem accessing my home computer from work(or anywhere else). At home I have opened up port 5900 and 5800 on my SMC router and have opened up 5900 and 5800 on my Trendmicro firewall and the XP firewall. I have two computers at home that are not networked but go through the same SMC router. I can access the RealVNC server from my other home computer (also able to access it from Java) but I cannot access my home realvnc server from any other computer(not able to access from Java anywhere else either). Any ideas? Why does it work from my other home computer and not from outside computers. Thanks, Lee
