can't get vnc to work, with lynksys router

[Jae P. Lupo]

I have the same router you are using.  You must turn DHCP off and use
"Port forwarding" not "Port triggering".  Setup static addresses on your
network and forward ports 5900-6000 to the WIN98 machine running VNC.
This should work.

Hi 

It can be a MTU setting in the router smaller than the default ones in
your W98 workstation and your remote computer.
See the excellents http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/,
http://www.webcom.com/llarrow/mtumss.html
Your can use WinDump http://windump.polito.it to examine the trafic
You can use "ping -f -l 1400, 1480, 1500, ..." to see if there is a
difference with and without your router when the packet becomes
fragmented.
If you have a FTP server on the remote computer, you can evidence the
problem with a "ls/dir" on an empty directory working ok (less than 200
bytes transferred for example) and a "ls" on a big directory (more than
1600 bytes transfered) not working.
I got 18 months ago the same problem with a CenterCom ADSL router in
Japan.

Objet : can't get vnc to work, with lynksys router


i have read the through all the questions regarding linksys routers in
the archives and it still won't work, i can connect to a computer
without a router with no problems at all following is what i've tried

- "dhcp" enabled & disabled
- won request enabled & disabled
-port range 5900~5900 protocol "tcp", ip addr 192.168.1.102
  the ip address i rec'd by running "winipcfg"
-"dmz host" was enabled & disabled
- port triggerig enabled & disabled
   application name   "vnc"
   trigger port range 5900~5900
   incoming port range 5900~5900
-anti virus program was disabled

i'm running windows 98
i can ping the computer
i'm connected to the internet by high speed cable, the cable company
says that vnc will work through their system but they won't support it
any suggestions or comments you have would be appreciated please advise
if you need more information
