I am running vnc on my main pc and laptop through a wireless gateway/router.
I can connect from my pc to laptop but not the other way. I have figured out that the xp firewall on my main PC is stopping the VNCconnection attemp from my laptop. How do I configure the firewall to accept the connection without compromising my security? Headtheball |

Hi.
You upgrade to WinXP SP2. The New WinXP SP2 Firewall let you control which applications can go onto the Internet. As for the Router this might help: http://www.ezlan.net/routers1.html Specifically about VNC ports here: http://www.ezlan.net/vnc.html Jack (MVP-Networking).

If you don't want to bother with port / nat / firewall configuration you should try www[dot]vncproxy[dot]com
