Question : VNC via External IP not working, Internal IP working fine

Hi,

I am trying to VNC a machine on my small home network using the NAT external IP address

My Port Forwarding configuration of my router is as follows;

# Private IP Protocol Private Port Public Port  
1 10.1.1.3            All 5900           5900

It is a DLink DSL-504G ADSL Router, I have even tried putting the machine in the DMZ but it keeps saying it can't connect to the server. When I put the internal IP Address it works fine, but not with the external.

Same goes for the Remote Desktop Web Connection even after putting machine in the DMZ and forwarding port 3389. Worked fine internally, anyone got any ideas what else I could do or what I am doing wrong.

Cheers

Have a friend setup the vnc viewer, and then have them connect to your exteranl ip, and they will be able to vnc into your machine :-)
