Will realVNC alone work in dial-up connection

[James Weatherall]

Ping has nothing to do with port numbers.  Ping is handled at a lower level
- if your ISP and computers are Internet-compliant then your machine will be
pingable so long as data can be sent to/from it.  Whether or not port 5900
etc is blocked will not affect pingability.

If you can't ping a machine, then the chances are that its networking is not
properly configured, so it's not accessible at all.
