Hey guys,
I'm pretty new to dealing with anything that involves networks, internet access, or remote desktop usage.
To force myself to start to learn, I set up a simple P2P network between the 3 computers in my apartment. All use XP home, and all are connected through a D-Link wireless router. The router in turn is protected by a WEP key.
Now, I set up a VNC server using the free VNC software on my new desktop. I then setup the VNC client on my laptop. I made holes in my desktop PC (VNC server)'s firewall for ports 5800 and 5900 (java and client access, respectively).
When I'm sitting in my apartmnet, I can use VNC on my laptop without problem.
However, when I'm in class or at work, I can't get both the VNC client or Java app to connect with my computer. I know I have the IP address correct b/c it works when at home.
What's the deal? Is there a firewall somewhere along the way that I can't seem to break through?
THanks ahead of time!
