losing VNC connection after dial-up modem ISP connection

[Alan Watchorn]

Ron,

I'm not quite sure what is happening but there are two connection
definitions in XP for the configuration you describe - one for the LAN
connection and another for the dial-up connection.  Look at TCP/IP the
properties for each (Open Network
Connections/Connections/Properties/Internet Protocol/Properties).  My guess
is that the LAN is set to static and the dial-up is set to dynamic.  Most
ISPs who use static addressing for dial-up (or any connection) use a static
address assigned out of THEIR pool - talk to the ISP but keep in mind that
static addresses are unusual (for that read 'extra cost item') for them
(particularly on non-business accounts)

Hope this helps,

Subject: losing VNC connection after dial-up modem ISP connection


Hello Everyone,
Here is my situation:

Computer-A: WinXP
Computer-B: Win-XP
VNC ver.: 4.0

Within the LAN
--------------
Comp-A (viewer) can remote-control Comp-B (server)
via VNC with the IP address.
Even when Comp-B goes online via
dial-up modem (isp: MCI), Comp-A can
still control Comp-B's internet session.

However...

outside the LAN
---------------
Comp-A can remote-control Comp-B
via VNC with the IP address.
But when Comp-B goes online via
dial-up modem (isp: MCI), Comp-A
loses control of the session.

Question 1:
How can I stop this from happening?

Notes:
On Comp-B, before connecting, I can see (ipconfig) the
"Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:"-information
10.135.xxx.yyy

and after the dial-up internet connection i can see the
same IP configuration, plus some new info.
"PPP adapter MCI:"-information
67.192.aaa.bbb

Question 2:
Does this mean that once Comp-B logs onto the internet
via dial-up modem, its IP number changes from its regular
static IP, to some new dynamic IP from MCI?

Anyone have any ideas?
I would appreceiate any feedback, thank you.
Ron
