Disabled the java viewer and still can't connect. I have a Linksys router and under the "Forwarding" tab I have "Customized Applications" =VNC, "Ext. Port" = 5800 to 5900, I have "Protocol TCP" and "Protocol UDP" checked, "IP Address" = the IP the VNC server is running on and "Enabled" is checked. Is this all the right settings to enable the ports? If it is, could there be a service that needs to be running that I could check to make sure it is running? Please help, this is really getting to be frustrating. Thank you to everyone that offered their advice so far on this. I would really like to figure out why I can't connect.
