Connecting with a RoadRunner IP from the Internet

[Angelo Sarto]

You need to port forward port 5900 in the router to her pc's inside IP Address.

I cant remeber what this is called in linksys terminology it may be
called applications or something like that.  Google around a bit for
port forwarding and your specific router and you chould be able to
find helkp on how to enable a forward.

just remember it is port 5900.

Good Luck,
Angelo

P.S. what i suspect is happening is that somehow your computer is
configuring the router via UP'nP for you while her computer is not.

PPS. instead of monitoring your ip you can get yourself a free domain
name mapped to your dynamic ip by going to the dynadns  website or the
www.no-ip.com website
