VNC thru Linksys VPN

[James Weatherall]

Darren,

Error 10060 means that there was absolutely no response from the IP address
you tried to contact.  This might mean a routing issue with your VPN, or
simply that you are trying to contact a computer via a non-existent IP
address.

Regards,

Wez @ RealVNC Ltd.
