Issue with connecting to Vnc via router.

[Scott C. Best]

Mark:

 	Heya. You will get "error 10061" if you try to connect
via port-forwarding to a VNC Server on your LAN from a VNC Viewer
that's *also* on the same LAN. That is, the port forwarding you
did for ports 5800 and 5900 will work for everywhere on the Internet
(like where GoToMyVNC connects from) *except* for on your LAN. On
your LAN, you'll have to use the "LAN address" (eg, 192.168.x.y)
rather than the XXXX.myserver.org address.

 	Also, if you open a web-browser to "XXXX.myserver.org"
you should get the "router logon box". To get to the VNC Server
via a web-browser (again from *outside* of your LAN) you'll have
to use "XXXX.myserver.org:5800".

 	Hope that helps!
