Problem connecting to my machine outside the firewall

[Gajanan Bhat]

Hi,

I have a vnc server running on a win xp machine at home, and I can connect to it from inside my LAN using its private ip address.
I have opened up port 5900 on the router for both tcp and udp. Also, I have registered my domain with one of the free dns providers, and I am pointing that to my "real" ISP provided ip address. If I ping my domain, it returns the correct external ip address. But somehow, I am unable to connect to my xp machine using real vnc using the domain name, even though I have set up port forwarding to my xp machine.

Any thoughts if  I am missing something?

Thanks
Gajanan
