| Well the default for a linksys router is username:admin pass:admin, yeah and make sure you change that. |

You did not leave it default did you?  Check the net to see what the default credentials are for that model and try that, and change it asap after, to something you'll remember. (stick it on the router if you have to  ) |

| I'll TRY to get into my router, but it says I need a username and password. That of, I don't remember setting. |

| If you have a linksys router. I know for sure that you type in 192.168.1.1 in Internet Explorer to get to your router configuration. If your router isn't a linksys then I guess you have to read the manual to find out how to forward ports. And then you go to advanced and then to Port Forwarding and forward those ports. Someone correct me if I am wrong. |

.......... Ok........ -stares blankly at the computer screen-  |

| Yeah those ports I gave you are for accessing outside your network. |

| Internally, it should work fine as there shouldn't be any filtering between your machine and your dad's. Try opening up the ports Red mentioned but have them forward from the router to your machine that way when you try to VNC from outside the router into your machine you should be able to. I had to forward ports to be able to use the web interface for Remote Desktop Connection. |

Talking to me? No, but my home network is on a router. But I used it on my PC((which is on a router)) to control my dad's PC((which is also on the router)). |

| Now from what I've read- this program is suppose to be much easier to use & more reliable But it's for all your PCs within reach of one another. I'm on the VNC mailing list as I downloaded it once but never installed it. Anyway-everyday it's VNC won't do this or won't do that or it screwed up this or that. I would think the program below would work to rescue files from a bad PC too. FREE  |

| Hahaha that's funny. It's like at work I had a macro doing something repetitious in a spreadsheet and a coworker was all "wth is going on with your machine?":lol: |

| Is she on a router there are ports that you have to forward. Those are them below. 5800 5801 5900 5901 My sister got so scared when I VNCed into her computer and searched google images for ghosts and she saw the picture and started yelling, "Travis! Travis! Something is wrong with my PC!!!!!" |

I HAVE to do that to my mom! I have VNC on my PC, and I tried downloading it to my sister's PC((had to go over there for a few nights and was working on Photoshop, I was going to continue working over there)), but I couldn't access my PC for some reason. I had the IP and the correct password. I don't know. I'm trying to get anyone who asks me for PC help to install it. It would be easier on me, like Red said. |

Yeah I told him after.  Once I tried getting in when my mom was typing an email, and my dad was with me at the time, so I just started hitting random keys to make typos in her typing and we were laughing, then I just went nuts and hammered at the keyboard. |
| travis - Jul-13-2005 server time |
| Wow, that must've sucked did he know you vnced into it? |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-13-2005 server time |
| Hehe once I VNCed into my parant's PC to do something but realized my dad was online, filling out this HUGE form for something, so instead of moving the mouse to go hit the X on VNC and making him wonder what happened, I just hit CTRL+F4, not realizing it would close HIS program, not mine! He was probably on that form for like 2 hours too. He's a very slow typer. |

| VNC is awesome I was just playing with it on my bros comp with me accesing it, wow it is really cool. I cant wait to mess him up while playing COD he will think he is lagging or something I have to install it on the other comp tonight while he is sleeping. Boy oh Boy this is going to be awesome! |

| You can still get it for free. If not, there are other free forks out there anyway. Just don't enter you info on the download page. You can leave it blank. |
| Red Squirrel - Jul-13-2005 server time |
You should be able to find it online if you do a search. If you can't find it or that they charge now, or something, just PM me since I have an installer for it. I keep all of those just in case.  I won't be around for a while though as I'm doing a fresh install. New drive, figured I'd repartition and go from scratch this time. |

| How does VNC work I would like to try it out. |
| jryan - Jul-13-2005 server time |
| Isn't it great what we can do with remote tools nowadays? |

| My grandma calls me allot with computer trouble, sometimes something simple like a message box that I have to click ok, or sometimes something more complicated like today - she "accidentaly" removed her firewall. So I VNCed in (took about 10 minutes to get her IP since she does not know where the start menu is) and fixed it from there. Saved me a bike ride. |
