No route to host?
Hi,
I'm trying to VNC from my Mac to a friend's Windows PC (using TightVNC as a server on the Windows machine anc Chicken of the VNC on the Mac as a viewer). I've never used VNC before, so I'm guessing and googling a lot ;-) I have her WAN IP address, and the port is forwarded in the routing table, but when I try to log in with VNC I get either "Could not connect to server" or "No route to host" errors. Somewhere I read that I should be able to ping the host, so I tried pinging her WAN address but it didn't work. Is that right, or is the "host" her WAN address followed by a colon and the port? Anyway, when I add the port, ping says it can't resolve XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:YYYYY. I'm confused, I just don't really understand the docs I read :-( My dsl internet connection is ok, and so is hers. I've read somewhere that "route get" should give me some information, but I don't understand the output :-( Can anybody help me? Marie-Regine |
1st problem - DSL
2nd problem - It can be a number of things. She may have her ports blocked, you may be accessing the wrong ones. Firstly, how did you attain her IP address? Can you give us a snapshot of the settings. 3rdly, why do you want to do this? It is illegal ya know. |

Check modem settings on the server side network to make sure the port is forwarded. Message me if you need any more help. |

She *gave* me her IP address and the VNC password on the phone because I want to help her out with something... (after I walked her through downloading a TightVNC to use as a server). I'm still working on this, but I've broken the problem into bits. I'll repost when I have more specific questions.
