Hello All,

I have read this topic: http://www.hydrogenaudio.org/forums/index....showtopic=30409

I am trying to connect to VNC with the webbrowser.

I have a SMC router.
On the router, i've forwarded 3 ports (5800 - 5900 - 80) to my client Pc.

I CAN connect with Vnc Viewer from my friends place so that is good! meaning that my settings should be correct.
But I want to use the Webbrowser(like http://myexternalip:80)

When I try that from another pc in my network, it works.
When I try it from my friends place, internet explorer is searching... searching and then tells me that the page cannot be displayed.

He doesn't have a proxy server activated.

Does anybody have any thoughts?

Thx

Not sure, but I think you should use "myexternalip:5900" instead

Thx for the answer solaris
But when I try here on a second computer
http://ip:80 works and http://ip:5900 not

But you never know so i called my friend and asked him to try
with http://ip:5900 he gets immedeatly the page cannot be found and with http://ip:80 the page tries to load but fails too then

Give up port 80, try to set it to use 8080 or something.

Explanation:

Odds are that your router listens on port 80 for access to the web configuration interface. Mine does.

But, for security reasons, it refuses all connections coming from outside your internal LAN. That's why your friend's IE can't see it.


If that's not the case, the only other explanation would be that your ISP is blocking well known server ports: 80 (HTTP), 21 (FTP), 20 (FTP-DATA), 25 (SMTP) and so on.

Since the webviewer is java based, your friends firewall will need to allow java to make connections.

VNC's java listener is on port 5800. Try that one first. Ports 5900+ are for the dedicated viewing client.

Thx for all the answers
After testing for a long time, I decided to forget Vnc & use logmein

That works with https
(if you want to know what it is, just type logmein in google, first hit)
