Hi,
 
I am trying to use RealVNC to connect from my usual XP PC to a 'remote' Win95 machine downstairs, but keep getting the
Connection Refused message.
 
The set-up is as follows:
 
LinkSys BESFR81 gateway, connected to internet, local IP 192.168.1.1.
-- Win95 PC is connected to this, and has a static IP of 192.168.1.111
 
LinkSys WRT54GC router, connected to BESFR81, local IP 192.168.1.2.
-- WinXP PC is connected to this, and has a DHCP IP - usually 192.168.1.101.
 
I can browse either machine's Shared Documents folder from the other PC via My Network Places.
 
To try and solve the problem, I have also set up port forwarding on both routers to enable port 5900 to be forwarded to
the Win95 PC, but this has not helped.
 
Any help and suggestions cheerfully received!
 
Thanks,
Mark
