vnc viewer behind router won't connect

[Scott C. Best]

Fred:

 	Heya. On the VNC Server machine, try running the scan
at "http://www.gotomyvnc.com". If it can connect, then any
normal VNC Viewer will be able to connect.

cheers,
Scott

PS: Many newer DSL models have a "built in" router nowadays,
     so you may have one and not know it. If the IP address
     shown when you mouse-over the VNC Service icon in the PC's
     service tray is different than the IP address shown in the
     GoToMyVNC scan....then there's a router involved. :)
