Connection issue Router Bell / Sympatico

[Sonia And Simon]

Hi,



I tried that before and did not remember the error message.



I then retry it and what I got is : connection timed out.



What is strange is if I run any FTP server on computer A, computer B can 
connect to it and transfer file back and forth, no problem. The IP address 
used  by the FTP software are the same that I'm using for VNC.



I know the router stop some activity on some port but event if I try using 
to pass 59716 (port 80) for VNC it failed with: Connection timed out



Any idea



Thank you,
