Nat and Remote desktop tightVNC

I'm try to connected to my Suse server, on my lan I have no problems
connecting to the server.
When I try to connect trough the internet, I get a logon screen.
When I enter a password, I get an error back, can't find ....

With port do I have to redirect, I have already redirect port 5801 en 5900.

Thanks

Jos

5900 should do the trick if this is the port the VNC server listens to
locally. If it connects internally on this port, and if you are using the
correct IP (i.e., the IP of your outside connection), this should work.

Uwe,

That doesn't work, I have just the default installation.
When I look with netstat I can also see that port 1368 is used.
When I close that connection, and open a new connecting port 1406 is used

Has it something to do with the java applet?

Thanks

Jos

Weird. I'll try that with my own machine tomorrow, with the normal VNC.

No idea. BTW, the TightVNC website says just that, forward these two
ports. Are you sure this is not a router issue? What are you using?

Uwe,

I have a SpeedTouch 510,
I routed TCP port 5900 & TCP 5901 to the inside ip-adres.
Or should I route also the UDP port?

Okay, that's for http. I assume your outside IP is on the router. Is
there a webserver behind the router which is listening on port 80?
Can you try and forward 5800 and/or 5801 and then use a VNC client to
connect?
TCP should be fine, no need to forward UDP, AFAIK.
