Remote Viewing into a LAN

[Bill Pickering]

I am a new user of VNC and am having some difficulty connecting from my
dial up PC into my server which is on a wireless LAN. I have searched
through the FAQ's but not found one which has enabled me to connect.
My LAN has 2 PC's on it using Windows 98SE.
On one of these (192.168.0.100) I have set up the VNC server and I am trying
to gain remote access into the second PC (192.168.0.104)
The wireless router is a D-LINK 614+ and I have had help from D-LINK in
setting up the port routing to the second PC which I have called Port 1 - it
has been given the Private Port number 5800 and Public Port number 5900.
The remote access PC is a laptop with dial up access - also running Windows
98SE.
I have tried two methods of gaining remote access:
1. Using the VNC Viewer - putting in the public IP address of the router:0
and had a response "Failed to Connect to server"
2. Using Internet Explorer Version 6.0 - putting in the address:
http//Public IP Address:5800 and had response "could not find the server" -
I was told IE had to be Java enabled and I have checked all 3 Java boxes on
the Internet Options Advanced list to provide this.
I would prefer the second solution but at this stage the first would be a
good start.
Any thoughts?

I'm not familiar with the D-LINK 614+, but it sounds like you are
forwarding external traffic from port 5900 to the 192.168.0.104 PC's port
5800 (from now on displayed as 192.168.0.104:5800). This won't work. If
you just need vncviewer support, you need to forward the traffic to
192.168.0.104:5900. If you need to access the java viewer via VNC's built
in HTTP server, you need to forward both 192.168.0.104:5900 and
192.168.0.104:5800 (Both examples assuming you are using display "0").
