can't connect behind Linksys

[John R Larsen]

Is the machine you're trying to make the connection from also on the LAN?  The Befsx41 router 
doesn't allow that.  It doesn't allow machines on the LAN to use the WAN IP to connect back to 
machines on the LAN.  It should work fine if you try to connect using a machine that isn't on the LAN.

Other things to look at.  In your forwarding tab for port 5900, are you sure you have put in the correct 
LAN IP address for the machine you want to connect to?  Is the "TCP" check box selected?  Is the 
enable check box selected?  I'm using a befsx41 router with Verizon DSL and have no trouble.  
Another site I manage uses a Befsr41 with Comcast with no trouble.

I'm behind a Linksys befsx41 router and, under the forwarding tab, am
forwarding ports 5900 to 5900. VNC runs fine when I access it from my
internal network (behind my router) as long as I connect to my LAN ip
address ; but when I try to connect to my WAN ip I get "unable to
connect to host: Connection refused (10061)".
My filters are set to:
Block WAN Request: Disable
Multicast Pass Through: Enable
IPSec Pass Through: Disable
PPTP Pass Through: Disable
Remote Management: Disable
Remote Upgrade: Disable
MTU: Auto

I'm not sure what the problem is, Linksys Tech Support blames Comcast
and Comcast Tech Support blames Linksys.
Please help
