I have succesfully used VNC to view my work computer from home, and now wish
to view one home computer from another. But....
The setup: two home computers running Windows 98SE connected with Intel's
Wireless Anypoint system. One of the computers, I'll call it server, is
connected to the Internet through a dialup modem, and acts as the server in
the Anypoint setup. The other computer is the client. I have fixed the IP
numbers for both of these machines as suggested buried in Intel's support
help: XXX....10.1 for the server, and XXX....10.2 for the client. This
wireless LAN is working fine as far as I can tell.
I run the WinVNC server from the server machine. When the mouse is placed
over its icon in the system tray it displays the IP number: XXX....10.1 (If
it is connected to the DUN, it also displays the IP number assigned by the
ISP). Now: when I run the VNC server from the client machine, it displays
the same IP number: XXX....10.1, even though I can check that it is indeed
set to 10.2 for the wireless adapter. And when I try to run the VNC viewer
from the client to view the server, it complains about a loopback
connection, thinking I am trying to view itself.
Any suggestions as to what I have setup wrong?
Thanks!
