at 5800 port...realvnc uses 5900 port for the vnc interface and 5800 for the java web based interface....

getting "can't connect to host".. when i try to open at 5800 which is the web java based VNC getting no page... i cannot see how the modem could interfere either...but cannot thing of anything else...rather than DD-WRT having probs with port forwarding?

Hi all, I have done lots of port forwarding in the past in various router but this one is a more specific on the equipment i suspect. I'm using a Soma networks wimax modem, the somaport 300. The somaport 300 does not have an interface so when i'm trying to connect on the gateway i'm getting the msg of "somaportal not activated on this device". Nevertheless, it does have an automatic DHCP so the wimax modem (somaport300) is connected with RJ45 directly to a WRT54G router that runs DD-WRT firmware. From there the router is assigning automatic IPs to the clients or static. So to sum up: Somaport300 wimax modem with DHCP, connected with RJ45 to WRT54G, and then clients are connected to the router. All is well and everything is working fine, and the whole network is stable and the internet is fine in all the clients. However, I have realVNC in one of the clients and i want to forward the 5900 port to that particular client. So i have assigned a static IP to the client and then i'm forwarding the 5900 port to that particular IP. This is something that i have done numberous time back in Europe via normal ADSL modem/routers. However, in this particular occasion the port forwarding is not working, although i have tried without any firewalls from router or pc. I suspect that it has to do something with my wimax modem, the somaport 300, so anyone who might have the same modem and has done port forwarding successfully i would appreciate if he/she can advice. many thanks *edit* i forgot to mention that i'm running dyndns on my WRT54G router, and i can ping the dyndns address from outside with no problem....

Hi All, I have found this site from google trying to sort out a problem on Vsat connection. I must admit that is a complete site with lots of articles, tools and good forums. So congratulations to the admins for their hard work in keeping this one running. So far all my internet connectivity experience has been with fiber optic cables as backbone. Recently, a friend of mine has called me over to help him identifying what is wrong with his internet. He has a 1024kb down and not so sure how much up, and his ISP is using VSAT as backbone. Being located in West Africa, contacting the ISP and expecting good level of expertise is a luxury. So need to figure out myself what is happening. His internet is very erratic. One minute is browsing quite fast, next minute is as slow if not slower than 56k. At the same time the download speeds are quite good, ranging from 12 to 116k...and average around 20k. So at the same time that i'm struggling load up a web page, if i try to download after a file it gives me around 20-30k speed. This is not a pc specific problem, as I'm using my laptop at home, work and my friends internet so if browsing is fine on a 128/64 (with fiber optic backbone) on my laptop, it should be fine for 1024 download on a VSAT backbone. I was wondering if that is a common problem in VSAT connection...and if yes, what can i do to improve the browsing speeds? I would appreicate it if someone could take me through as to what specific tests and tweaks i have to do for this vsat connection. thanks
