Real quick.

I have a router, I have the port forwarding set for my range to direct to 
the pc in question and I can not connect. Gotomyvnc.com also recognizes no 
open ports, so I assumed
my port forwarding isn't working.

Now, the curveball is this. I have two computers in my house (here to known 
as c1 and c2). C1 is my main machine. C2 is the family machine.

I telneted to C1 (from itself) and the appropriate port so I know the 
server is listening (I assume), I tried to connect to C1 from C2 with no dice.

However... I have no problem connecting to C2 from C1 - which incidentally 
only makes me crave producing a function vpn even more.

Any thoughts on why I can connect in LAN from one computer to the other but 
not vice versa?

Am I having server issues or router issues with regards to gotomyvnc.com, 
and what should I see if I were to telnet to the aforementioned port my 
server is listening on?

Thanks in advance.
