Trying to run RealVNC with a LinkSys WRT54G router

Hi

I'm trying to set up VNC to run over the internet. I put the RealVNC Server on a desktop machine, and have been testing with VNCviewer on my laptop.

I've gone through the realvnc web site, and configured my home machine to match the suggested settings, but I still can't get it to work. When I run the test CGI from the RealVnc web site on the VNC server machine, it hangs for a few minutes, then just says "failed". The VNCviewer waits for a few seconds, then gives a timeout error. I've tried to use 192.168.1.102, and also the IP Address indicated on the RealVnc test page.

The documentation I've used is from

and

Any ideas?

I'm running Windows XP

ipconfig shows: DHCP enabled Autoconfiguration enabled IP Address 192.168.1.102 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server 192.168.1.1 DNS Server xx.xxx.xx.xx

TCP/IP settings: Static IP address 192.168.1.102 Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0 Default gateway 192.168.1.1

My LinkSys WRT54G router settings are as follows:

Firewall protection is enabled. Block Anonymous Internet Requests is off.

Port range settings: VNC1 5500~5500 Both 192.168.1.102 VNC2 5800~5800 Both 192.168.1.102 VNC3 5900~5900 Both 192.168.1.102
