|
|
I've just installed Real VNC on my two computers - both xp home sp2.
I installed both viewer and server on both.
On one (called Guinevere) i can view the other (Arthur) easily.
However, I can't view Guinevere through arthur. It comes up with an error that it couldn't connect to the host.
Both machines have static IP addresses, and I can ping the other one from both machines. The settings are the same, I don't know why it doesn't work.
They have no firewall software running.
Guinevere is directly connected to my router.
Arthur is connected directly to a wireless bridge which links to the router.
Their can't be a problem with the newtorking issue, as they can both ping each other, and Guinevere can view and control Arthur fine.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks

BTW Norbie, I had a virtually identical problem a few months ago. It turned out that after installing SP2 the Windows Firewall was turned on, hence VNC wasn't working. Might be worth double-checking...
