richcornucopia Posted April 12, 2006 CID Share Posted April 12, 2006 You'll need the forward the port that your trying to connect to with vnc. I'm not sure if verizon blocks 80 or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted April 12, 2006 CID Share Posted April 12, 2006 Verizon is known to block port 80 where bandwidth is at a preimum. Try moving the port to 8080 or 4040.. Make sure that you have a static IP on the computer and it is forwarded correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
