VNC in listening mode, connection fails with "read: Connection reset by peer (10054)

	It depends by the router, almost always isn't possible to use the external address 
from the local (internal) network. From the 2nd PC try to access into Internet through an 
alternative internet connection (for instance, through a modem connection) and you'll see 
that the VNC connection using the DynDNS addres will work perfectly.
