Timed Out Error when connecting via Java Client

[James Weatherall]

Neil,

You need to set up port forwarding of ports 5800 and 5900 (or whichever 
ports you have configured your VNC Server to use) to the server 
computer.  If I remember correctly, D-Link's so-called "application 
trigger" is something to do with protocols like FTP, that repeatedly 
make new connections during their operation.

Cheers,
