Question : Port forwarding on Planet ADE-3100 modem/router to use VNC
|
|
Hello experts,
I have ADSL connection through Planet ADE-3100 modem/router. I have successfully configured port fowarding on the router so that others can connect to my web server through the internet. I did the same for VNC so that I can control my computer remotely. The port forwarding rule I set for the router is:
PSP PEP PP Proto IP
5500 5500 5500 TCP 10.0.0.7
5800 5800 5800 TCP 10.0.0.7
5900 5900 5900 TCP 10.0.0.7
5500 5500 5500 UDP 10.0.0.7
5800 5800 5800 UDP 10.0.0.7
5900 5900 5900 UDP 10.0.0.7
PSP: public start port
PEP: public end port
PP: private port
Proto: protocol
IP: IP address of my computer (which running a web server and VNC server)
The problem is that, I can't connect to my router on port 5900 (and other ports) because it is not open. Please tell me how can I open this port on my router for this task?
Thanks very much for your time

according to your settings, it looks like everything is set up correctly.
Just for reference here is what the ports do:
From what i can see it looks like you're using UltraVNC.
5500: normally used for "listening" clients (a kind of reverse server setup in which a server sends out a connection to the client, instead of the other way around)
5900: standard port for VNC connections and requests
5800: normally a Javascript based viewer port
Several things you'll need to confirm:
The IP address you're specifying for your VNC server computer, is 10.1.1.7 (CLASS B indicating that you either decided to use this, or you have a fairly large infrastructure)
10.1.1.7 is your "LAN IP"
Understand that if you're trying to connect from outside you will first need to discover your WAN IP.
There are several IP checkers that you can use, such as http://www.whatsmyip.org/
THAT will be the IP address you connect to from outside of your network.
Have you been using the LAN IP (10.x.x.x) or the WAN ip to connect?
